Pretty Petty’s Poem for the Disabled
Hello Pretty Pets, how are you doing?
Let us introduced ourselves: we’re Amanda, James, Anna, Tim, Abdul, Jasmine, Kofi, Alvin, Okeke, Jayant, Roselle, Bamidele, Ibn, Michael, Creative Thinker, Amber, Kanu, Lana, and Osinachi; we’re poets. This is a very special issue or version that we’re doing. If you want to know more about handicapped, Amanda wrote a very powerful paper about “Being Handicapped”. Just click on this link: http://beinghandicappedessay.blogspot.com. In 2001, Amanda discovered poetry by an accident. I’ll be doing this issue.
You are You
Hello from your review mirror
I am the blue plaque that flaps in the wind.
Waving hello every time you get into your car.
I see you laugh and smile,
I see you get frustrated,
Because you cannot do your own seatbelt....
Or because someone parked in a van accessible parking spot,
In a small car..
But when all is wrong or things seem they may not go right.
Keep your head held..
Keep that smile on your face,
And that love in your heart.
Don't let your disability define you.
You are you.
Amber Rose
