Pretty Pettyâs Poem for the Disabled
Hello Pretty Pets, how are you doing?
Let us introduced ourselves: weâre Amanda D. Petty, Eric Brown, Anna Shepherd, and James W. Hill, and weâre poets. This is a very special issue or version that weâre doing. Eric, James, and I are disabled or handicapped too. If you want to know more about us, Amanda wrote a very powerful paper about âBeing Handicappedâ. Just click on this link: http://beinghandicappedessay.blogspot.com. In 2001, Amanda discovered poetry by an accident. In 2012, she thought of creating an online business: âPretty Petty Poetryâ. This version is a part of our business. Eric is taking over this issue.
The Companions Are
By-Amanda D. Petty
I have a few companions.
They are teaching me.
No one knows what they do.
It feels like; youâre in a tight box.
When you want out, you canât.
My companions are:
My speech,
My involuntary movement,
My eyesight,
My legs,
My back,
My wheelchair,
My Cerebral Palsy,
My brain.
With these things, Iâm educating people.
These things are touching people lives.
For me, these things are a pain.
People canât understand them.
Thank you for changing me.
Thank you for challenging me.
