Today is not hot

Today is not Hot.
Ought I to confess my thought?
Ought I not?

The day is cold
But the grave is colder yet.
Would I regret
Where I to be bold
And unfold
My thought?
Ought I? Ought I not?

In the final sleep there is neither cold
Nor hot.
The day is cold,
Should I be bold?
Or not?

YES BLIND PEOPLE READ BOOKS, WE WRITE THEM TOO

Campbells World

Yes, Blind People Read Books. We Write Them, Too.

Hello readers everywhere.

First, I’d like you to read this. Then, I dare you to share it.

It is about time someone adjusted the attitudes of many.

Yes, Blind People Read Books. We Write Them, Too.

Laurie Alice Eakes  Reprinted from the HUFFINGTON POST

“Windy, let’s get some coffee,” I suggested, in need of an iced latte.

My Seeing Eye dog swerved right, tension through the harness  increasing as she skirted a corral of ou...

Elicit

The creep
Of girl’s feet
Bring delight
At night.
Neighbours sleep.

A Lady Who’s Name Is Brass

A lady who’s name is Brass

Has a heart fragile as glass.

When I criticised her art

Her tears did start

And her friends all called me crass!

Is there a difference as regards “reading” and “listening” to a book?

I was somewhat taken back when, several weeks ago, I heard an item on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme concerning reading.

Ought

Ought
I to fall
For a tall
Or a short
Girl?

One may be gone
In a whirl
Of love or lust
It matters not, for we are dust
And must
Ourselves besport
Ere we are caught
By one who will
Forever chill
Both love and lust.

A Confusion Over Socks

A confusion over socks.
She laughs.
Their paths
Did Converge for a time

His memory unlocks
And she, and her socks
Are bound in a rhyme.

A Young Lady Who’s Name Is Wong

A young lady who’s name is Wong
Has love for me most strong,
But my girlfriend Lou
Comes home at 2
So it can’t last very long …
