JOSIE'S POEMS
 
Poems for Secondary and
 High School Young People


By Josie Whitehead

Friends at School
NOTE:  There are lots more poems for young people  in every single index.  
 

REFUGE is my poem for National Poetry Day - 5 October.
I have tried to put myself into the shoes of those who seek refuge.  There is a big difference between a refugee and an immigrant, as you will know full well.
