A Wolf Inspires a Poem for Kids’ Month
from Christy Birmingham
Hi all! This new poem called “Challenge” gets its inspiration from a particular piece of street art depicting a wolf. The amazing artwork was photographed by Resa of Graffiti Lux and Murals, as part of Kids’ Month. Resa has taken photos of wonderful youth-friendly street art and asked for submissions of poetry and short stories to accompany them throughout the month of March. I’m happy to be a part of the exciting project this year! You can participate too by following the link above.
This wolf art caught my eye with its bright colors and wonderful details. The artist is Cash Akoza.

And here is the poem that stirred in my mind as I looked at the wolf street art:
Challenge
You’re a lone wolf,
Away from the pack and
Savoring a fearless thought,
Blue eyes intent on the path…

Poetry: Sacrament
I thought if I found
the right people
If I learned about
the mind,
about art and history.
If I lived my truth
became the best
of all possible
people, this fear
would go away.
But it didn’t go away.
And it doesn’t go away.
And it probably never
will.
