Haiku Poetry 10 Day Challenge #10: The Blind

This is the final day of the Haiku poetry challenge. I have enjoyed reading all the different Haiku poems. You can post other Haiku poems as you feel inspired.

Are you abnormal

because you can not see well

Just observe the blind

I know someone that is almost totally blind. He can see a little still, but his everyday life does suffer, due to poor eye sight. This man feels bad, because he has to take a magnifiy glass with him when he has to read. He actually can draw, but he has to use his magnifying glass. I told him other people that have a disability could get inspired seeing you not let your poor eyesight stop you from trying something. Sometimes people that have disabilities can teach folks without disabilities something special.

  1. Very powerful message. I know a couple where the woman is blind and the man is almost blind. They have a strong desire for life, they travel, and they live their life to the fullest.

  2. Reading this makes me think of the visionary work of singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder and the images that his lyrics evoke on albums like “Inner Visions” and “The Secret Life of Plants”, and the visionary writings of Helen Keller who could see the potential for American society despite being deaf and visually impaired.

    • I have known artist that could paint or draw without eyesight. I wander what you could draw with your eyes closed. I took an art class in high school, and we had to close our eyes and feel an object and draw it, and mine looked better than i thought it would.

  3. They show us how small we all are. How much courage and will is there in one person without disability? And they are real wrestlers. I drop them a hat with a deep bow.
