My book-shelves are filled

with  campaign medals

from battles with 

an inadequate education.

You had this up before, yes? I don't see any difference if I remember it correctly. It's really good. IMO, I would take out 'the' to move the line faster with more punch.

Hi Tommy,

Like Isobel says, there's education and there's education. Methinks you're doing fine - we probably share similar libraries.

Regards,

An interesting idea for a poem Tommy. My father had similar shelves. There is so much an adequate education can't teach you, also...

Good to see you back posting. I hope you are well. x
