Beginning to leave
No family, friends
Without a home
Waiting for taxi
Feeling very lonely
A beautiful country
Pausing, thinking back
Missing my home
Reaching my destination
The old school
Dark empty corridors
And empty silence
Nobody speaks English
Thinking of home
Want to leave.
By Georgia Hannant
Lonely
Silent morning
Couldn’t understand anything
Words rushed straight through
Lie
Family
For ever
Never there again
Will always be gone
Why?
Home
Sweet comfort
Heart belongs there
Will always belong there
Me
Past
Never forgotten
My town stands
Will be there forever
Victory
By Charley Parkin
I left home
Everything I know
Everything I love
It was unbearable.
Coming from school
Not allowed home
Family have gone
What is happening?
Ushered into car
Away from Willerby
Out of Hull
Destination is unknown.
Frightened
Scared silence
Thinking of home
Wish I was there.
Alone.
Arrival
Shaking nervously
Where am I?
Wanting to be home
Destination.
By Amber Watson
We met a fabulous bunch of young people at our workshop at Wolfreton School. There are some pictures of what happened on the Workshop page.
We talked about what it may be like for the Huguenot people – back in the 16th century – to be persecuted and to have to leave everything behind and take refuge in a new country. We talked about how it would feel it it were to happen to us, today.
I’ll start posting the superb work that everyone created. Here’s the first one, it’s a drawing, ‘Home = Hull’.
