Robyn Youl submitted this response to my recent Words+Pictures poetry challenge…
Walk
Sneakers
are for fun
for
after school stuff.
Heavy
cloddy
black school shoes
lace up cocoons
walk.
Your feet
come out
to stretch your legs
and fly.
Sneakers
are not made
to walk
they’re made to run.
Sneakers
Sneaker shod
I walk
I run
to the shops,
to my friends
to Little Aths
.. and at the end
of the day
home to Mum.
Are Refugee Kids
Sneaker shod
when
they walk
they run
from
the bombs
the bad men
with guns?
Are Refugee kids
Sneaker shod
when
they walk
they run
from
home
family and friends
into the unknown?
