A Wolf Inspires a Poem for Kids’ Month

Photography and Art

from Christy Birmingham

Poetic Parfait

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.

Blue eyes intent on the path…

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 pain

would go away.

I fed on faith,

lived to find the

higher ground

or

fought everyone

around me to make

the pain go away…

But it didn’t–

And it doesn’t–

And it probably

never will.
