Circular Quay Ice Cream
By Olly, Year 10
Family on the train
Love
Family can be a single grain or all the rice
Many & wide
Always on the brain
thought?
Family off the train
Walk
Give them my time no matter
the dime
Worth it!
Memories not money
Circular Quay Ice Cream
Manly sand The warmth
of the land
Family
Home is where
the heart is.
This poem, Circular Quay Ice Cream, is an excerpt from The Human Testimony, a poetry collection written by Olly in Story Factory’s Year of Poetry program. In this program, young people commit to attending workshops for a year and write their very own poetry collection, which is professionally edited, published and launched into the Sydney literary landscape.
