Poetry By Isabel Riley

Where the Girls with Cool Sneakers Collide


Throw it down
Be the center 
On your feet 
In a room 
In a house 
On a plot 
On a street 
In the city
Mow the lawn
Weed the garden
Trim the trees
Pick up the branches
Take a breath

I could cry
For a few
Who have cherished me

Pack your bags
Take a trip
Bring a tip
And a map
Find a snack
Drive the car
Down the road
On the pavement 
Over the earth
Under the sun
Into the wild

Park the car
Walk with pride
Hold it high
Smell the spring
Do your thing
Know your worth
Open the door 
Find a chair
Hear the words
Of the brave
In a room full of books
Where the girls 
With cool sneakers 
Collide
