Huge news as we get ready for Autism Awareness month!! A poetry series collection is starting here on “The World Of Autism” by collaborating with Mike McDonald, who was one of my guests featured on my blog. Mike McDonald is a young adult on the Autism spectrum, and one of his special interests is poetry. Here is the first poem by Mike called, “What do feelings look like?” :
What do feelings look like?
I don’t see emotions
instead I see
a strange puzzle
that leaves me
perplexed
a puzzle that
you think you got
the right pieces in
but when you look
closely
it looks like
an abstract painting
the shapes
very
oddly
placed
in my mind
that it
leaves me
on edge
