National Poetry Month and Autism Acceptance Month (+ a poem)

April is National Poetry Month 📝 and Autism Acceptance Month ∞ (It is also my birth month according to the Gregorian Calendar, but my birthday anniversary is a few weeks out yet!). I am both a poet and autistic (albeit rather covertly, in the case of the latter).


Here is a poem back from 10/7/2013, when I was fifteen:


Have you ever looked at a tree
And just thought,
"Oh, what a beautiful tree."?—
Have you ever smiled and not wondered why?

Life feels like a sigh
Without the breath before,
Like a splash of rainbow color
From a single falling tear.

Sometimes the wind blows
And it brings down a forest,
But the wind is still beautiful—
Full of whirling leaves.
