the child who never saw

[moonwolf]

I came up with this while speaking with my brother about a year ago, discussing how blind people see

I decided to just write it here and share this with you all. hope you like it

 

The child who never saw

 

 

Imagine a sky

clouds and birds

sun, moon and the stars

 

now make the sky pink

clouds are blue-shaped monkeys

birds are red lions

 

green rainbow for a sun

squared purple stars

black and white lips for a moon

 

this is not what we see

but it could be

for the child who never did

Yeah, I always wondered that. But then, for the blind child there's no pink. Perhaps, he knows colours unknown to us. Is that possible?

 

Nice poem!

 

Take care,

If a child never saw, how could he/she have concept of color?

 

But other than that, this is a sweet poem. It's simple, and quite touching.

 

You know, I read that the first color one detects is green, because that's what the fetus sees when its eyes have been exhausted by the red of his mother's womb. Interesting, eh?

Thank you for your comments truly appreciated

 

Now for the concept of colours, I've always wondered how blind people from birth 'see' and we cannot know the answer to that.

 

That's why I wrote in the end "but it could be"

I LOVED IT!

 

Always did wonder too. Not only blind children, but deaf and autistic ones.

Honnestly Jason, that's a real nice poem,, loved it also.

And it matched it perfectly. Bravo!

I really liked that! It was so cute and sweet and still very...descriptive. I went ahead and imagined things that way too; it was fun

 

Thanks, Jason,
