A thoughtful poem about a differently abled child with autism, for the Autism Special Edition I of ‘Learning and Creativity’

Autism Awareness Special Edition I

By Deepti Singh
Autism awareness poems
The clouds, the breeze, the rains
All make up a brilliant platter

There’s a world no different
As deep and as tall
With colours and voices myriad
But you think you know it all
Gold for you is metal and colour
But I can hear it speak
The birds call out to me, come pal
Though you’d say
They aimlessly squeak
The clouds, the breeze, the rains
All make up a brilliant platter
Only a raw naked soul
Could see them all splatter
Each soul has its own mark
The world prefers a tag
And the satisfied ego
Goes for a heady fag
You say something’s wrong
But I stand high and tall
There’s a world no different
And you think you know it all!

The Significant League is a Facebook literary group which was started by a person who has a child with autism and hence has a special interest in it which explains why every April Autism Awareness month the group tries to do something connected with autism. This time, as for last year, it has been to trying to get its members to write poems on autism. Some very fine poems have come up as result.
