Sami worked with our poet, Philip Wells, to create a poem called ‘Liyoboo’. The repetition builds a fantastic rhythm when performed aloud. Well done Sami, we especially love the similes you have chosen.
Liyoboo
Liyoboo
Is a pattern
Inside you –
Moving like lightning
In the water
Of the sun
That is so cold
That my leg
Kicks everything –
When I fall
There is a fast light flash
And then it is slow
Like a slug –
Liyoboo….
Then my arm is stretching too loud
Like my tummy is speaking
Like an elephant and
And it says strongly –
LIYOBOO!
