Heads down Shoulders strain Legs firm Hold fast Many bodies Shared brain Lock tight Hold fast Kiss-close In the rain Both sides Hold fast They’re strong Take the strain Keep the faith Hold fast Battle-ready Swallow pain Hold fast Hold fast Hold fast Cassandra Parkin, 2022

Working with @Pinwheelltd commissioned via HCC we created six poems that reflected the values espoused in the Rugby League World Cup. #inclusivity #togetherness #powerofpoetry #RLWC21 pinwheel.org.uk/rlwc-wow?fbcli…

Over-whelmed that "I am the joy" was chosen as one of the winning poems. Loved dancing with @SouthpawCompany too. Thanks so much @Pinwheelltd

We are your arms, your legs, your blood, your bone We stand with you in places far from home To share our strength. And when you score the try, We are the glad yell rising to the sky. Cassandra Parkin, 2022 (2/2)

The Fourteenth A horde transformed to a united whole, A heartbeat shared, a many-bodied soul. We are the crowd. We are all the team, A million dreamers with a single dream. (1/2)
