First Year Musings: Poetry on the SASAH Student Experience

Updated: Jan 10, 2022


The three poems below are about my experiences as a SASAH student; whether it be about the people I've met, or the places I've discovered.


University College

By Gray Brogden

There is something 

about this place 

This campus, these people 

I mean look at this building

Towering over it all 

made of old stones 

How many stories have 

wandered it’s halls

Think of all the knowledge 

so ancient 

Yet still seems to promise

new beginnings

Near Music

By Gray Brogden

How much life did you live to lead you here

to this campus

to this classroom

to this moment

Leaning against an old, wooden desk

staring through stained glass

seeing so far past the space and time

in front of your knowing eyes

Can a song make your life flash

like a Rolodex in your mind?

Can it remind you of that 

which you wish to forget?



Undeclared

By Gray Brogden

I can see your mind in mine

It looks like an abstract painting

An abstract painting of abstract paintings

Like a kaleidoscope

That blurs at the edges

Makes everything seem just like magic

Maybe that is why you take an 

Extra moment before you speak

An extra second

To untangle the web in your head

To feed your thoughts through a prism 

So the rest of us may understand them

I do not envy your existence

But by god, 

it must be fascinating
