    This poem describes the feeling of watching loved ones "walk away" as they mature and move on to new stages of life. The author uses similes to convey the loneliness and pain experienced in seeing his child walk away to school. The overall theme is about accepting that people must leave what is comfortable and familiar in order to grow up and move forward. While difficult, this poem illustrates how parents will always support their children even as they experience the hurt of separation as their kids become independent.

    watching his child walk away created a feeling of loneliness.

    Content / CM / Meaning? / Theme(s)?

    The theme of this poem is moving on. The poem describes how everyone at one point must walk away from
    what they love or are passionate about, in order to move onto the next chapter of their lives. The poem tells
    its audience to accept the fact that they must leave what seems comfortable and move on in their lives to
    mature and grow.

    Form (Diction? Construction Terms? Symbolism?) This section MUST be filled out for poems taken from the AP Poetry

    Lewis uses several similes to describe how he feels when his child was walking away from him towards
    school. The poem puts the audience through Lewis mind to show how he felt when the people around him
    were walking away.
    Commentary: Why like? Poetic Traits? Relevance / Connections / Allusions (Lit, Bib, Myth, Histor, Other) / Relevance
    to personal experience, 20Qs? etc.)?

    I find this poem extremely interesting because it shows a perspective of a parent watching their child mature
    and walk away. I find this poem poetic because it shows how parents will always love and support their
    children, even when they are experiencing pain. It shows love and the accepting of change in life. This poem
    is relevant in everybodys lives. People are always walking away from something they love such as a sport or
    a hobby. In order to grow, people must continue to make sacrifices and leave people they love in order to
    mature.
