surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
SLOW SNAIL
Too big to fail, moving slowly as a snail, looking everywhere for places to win instead of fail. Steady pace wins the race, snail slow move looks for a faster pace. Chiselled cheeks, moving faster, wing span, space, so high can't fail for fear of loss to the face. New movement now, no new race, just a pleasant jog, win, fail, chase? Chase win, fail? Choices of the will. Pleasant surroundings for a smile to fill, sit, listen, feel, words become rhythm when the mind is still. What's right? To fail is to win, as long as you're left with a pleasant grin and less chagrin.

Speaking With Paint
Introduction From someone who has lived with Autism for most of my life, I believe it’s crucial to understand that many people on the spectrum are capable of just as much as individuals who don't live with Autism. I don’t live with non-verbal Autism myself, but I’ve known people who’ve lived with non-verbal Autism and I was able to observe their strengths, weaknesses and the challenges that arise. As I’ve noticed each and every one of them closely, I tell myself that they are just like everyone and that living with the condition doesn’t make them less then. That’s why I decided to write this fictional poem. I want to elaborate on the fact that people with non-verbal Autism are an asset and not a threat to society.
