Alison’s Poems
Chinquapin
Fear
Leaving home
Family has gone
Where do I go?
Safety
Hope
Hard travel
Harsh people around
Wish I was home
Safety
Haiku
Mountain
Above the farmhouse
Shelter water and profile
Threatening and safe
Three Words
The Tree
Planted in spring
Water and sunshine
Thirty years on
Now in woodland

Jack’s Poems
It was really good to meet and chat to Jack and to talk about guitars, poems, Creator College and the workshop. Here is Jack’s evocative poem…
Fields
Rolling Colours
Forged by thought
Lordless lonely long nights
Open
Mountain ancient lost
Keepers of the beautiful
Life stained, the eternal
Thunderous ink clouds
Smudged dirty impenetrable
Lovers of misery
Lingering over buildings
By Jack Beaumont
Lilybeth’s Poems
Goodbye Loved Ones
I’m leaving now
I’m going away
To my lovers
I can’t stay
It’s not you
It’s just me
A new country
That is me
A fresh start
A new life
A different culture
Will shine bright
Goodbye my friends
I’m going now
A new life
I start now
My name is Lily
I’m a flower
With flower power
With my personality
I shine bright
Share my story
It’s my life
In new places
I share life
What I have
Is my personality
I am polite
In new places
What I offer
It’s my name
Lily the flower
By Lilybeth Goodwillie
Sydell’s Poems in Golden Ink
Here are Sydell’s Poems, for our Hull Refugee week workshop, beautifully written in gold…
The Auricula Suite
I am drifting
I am following
Following the crowd
Crowds of leaves
Leaves are descending
Descending into fear
Fear of unknown
Unknown language spoken
Spoken broken words
Words of foreigners
Foreigners are scary
Scary foreign lands
Lands of people
People of England
England is beautiful
Beautiful green land
Land of unknown
Unknown foreign people
Horse
Shimmy, gallop
Bolt, shake, natter
Beauty, gentle, innocence, pride
Wild
Fig
Sweet, fruity
Velvety, soft, moist
Sweet, nature, touchable
Luxury, tempting
Edible, juicy
Exotic
What would you take with you?
My Nanas necklace
Three Words
The dog slept
The dog woke
The dog cried
The dog barked
The dog wagged
The love lasts
The love eats
The love gives
The love grows
The chef baked
The chef cooked
The chef chopped
The chef fried
The chef tired
The chef rolled
The chef proved
By Sydell Faith
