Poems that have a \"becoming a man\" theme
For my English final I have to put together a packet on a coming of age theme, but I don't have a very wide knowledge of poems and was wondering if anyone wanted to help me out by posting poems or songs that they feel relate to this topic.
Thanks in advance [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Maybe some C.K. Williams; can't remember any titles at the moment, busy with my own last-minute English final.

"MY HEART LEAPS UP WHEN I BEHOLD"
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. Wordsworth

My dad gave me a framed copy of 'If' for my 18th birthday. Never thought I ever quite lived up to it but it is a profound bit of prose.

It's enough to make you hate sh*t that's profound.
Seriously, who the f*ck is going to live up to that? I want two weeks worth of tea and sympathy every time I get a damn papercut. And this from a fairly weathered, angry son of a b*tch.

Too symbolic for most
The sun-comprehending glass If you understand only one metaphor this year, let this be the one!
