WAKEFIELD WHERE GIRLS ARE CREATIVE

Poetry: A spark of creativity! Many congratulations to Amelia Parkin in Year 9 who came runner-up in a North Yorkshire writing competition with her poem ‘Spark of Change’
Spark of change Everything starts with a thought, A single idea passes through your head, A problem to be fixed or a change to be made, And suddenly a thought becomes a thread. A thought flutters through your mind, The smallest and dullest spark, It may seem like a dream out in the distance, But it can still be seen bright in the dark. The idea is then passed to others, And you realise your problem is shared. Searching for people who fight the same fight, You find the people you never knew cared.

WHERE
When people resist your ideas, It’s because it is unusual and strange, Not because your problem isn’t important, Most people just don’t like change. Change is a pain-staking process, That requires years of revolution, It can take a lifetime for an adjustment to be made, But it will be worth it for a solution. Once a difference is made in society, The battle is all but won. One problem solved is an amazing achievement, But that doesn’t mean the war is done. Just think of the future generations, Who won’t have to face your pain, Or live in fear of a century old problem, Because you reached your aim. Amelia Parkin in Year 9
