Irlen Syndrome
I thought I’d try reading again
But when my eyes scan across that off-white page
The words animate….
Slippery little
bastards.
As I try focus on one,
The next j s l s in front of it
o t e
What I’m about to read distracting
Me from what I am reading…..
Its not the spelling, I was always top at that!
Its pinning down the words
Comprehensible in sentence to a
Into a comprehensible sentence,
While trying not to read the same line twice
The same line twice.
I’ve tried reading in blue, red, green,
With a reading ruler,
Reading glasses and
A magnifying glass
But the words
still
keep
falling
off
the
page…..
And don’t get me started on numbers!!!

I'd never heard of this syndrome & like Julie it made me use the all knowing Google to find out. Great style.
