Somewhere on a Spectrum
Somewhere on a Spectrum
Long before their
eyes
first failed to meet
he just knew she
would be different
somehow ..
After all, she was
so very hard to
describe ..
Like the textures
of fire and water
are so very hard
to describe ..
She was lithe like
a fish
and carefree as
a fool ..
Yet so socially
awkward
and quite unaware ..
Like a lost
flightless bird
desperate
to dance upon air ..
Yes long
before their eyes
first failed to meet ..
He just knew
she would be special
But hard
to understand
somehow ..
Like the contrasting
extremes of both
magma
and permafrost
are hard to fathom ..
She was
after all an enigma,
a mystery
a dream in the
making ..
But also alas,
in need of protecting
from herself and
those
with no conscience
or morals
nor bloody integrity ..
Pinned
as she was like that
on a glorious
rainbow coloured
and yes ..
Perfect broad spectrum ..

wonderful poem
Thank you kindly Greg, have a super Sunday sir .. N :)
your welcomed
Hello Neville, this is just brilliantly penned my friend. For me it screamed Autism and even gave an element of sensory processing disorder into its well woven imagery. Coming from a family with many on the spectrum I found this poem touched on the intricate layers a person on the spectrum can have. Indeed it is harder for girls to be diagnosed too, as ASD presents itself differently when they are young. Truly loved reading this. You managed to help the reader feel her vulnerability beautifullyÂ
Perfect đź‘ŚÂ

Thank you so very bloomin much Gwen x
Excellent writing. Great poem. I reckon we can all be placed somewhere on the spectrum. I am no expert of course but my analysis is made on the basis of experience. I don't think I have ever met anyone who wouldn't find a spot somewhere on that spectrum. As for myself — thinks too deeply, over analyses, obsessive interests (I am obsessed with horses) finds it impossible to focus on anything I don't particularly like even if it is important I should do so — yep, I reckon I am on there somewhere lol xx
How exceptionally kind you are too BM .. many thanks my fine literary friend x
For me this is nothing to do with the spectrum though I agree with BM that we are all on there...further up or further down depending what our current situation and state of mind is. For me...this is about fascination...this is about being at once enchanted and repelled by someone...almost under a spell of the one's own making. Cracking write x
