A purgatory of pleasure and pressure
The happiest place,
We’ll ever go
Lost sheep – Ricardo Teixeira
Late nights,
Even earlier mornings
Important assignments,
Missed opportunities
Hiding behind sunglasses
And campus communities
Grabbing a drink after 12
Into books,
We often delve.
Yet what we learn best of all,
Isn’t taught in a lecture hall
It’s between class,
As we sit on the grass.
Perdeby often gets asked if we have a space for poetry in the paper. Now we do. If you think your poetry should appear in this space, send an
email to perdeby@up.ac.za. Submissions may not be more than 100 words and may not have any unusual layout features. See the Perdeby letter
policy at perdeby.co.za for other guidelines.
