#NaPoWriMo Haiku of Life 1977 and 1978
1977
Watching you struggle
your mum didn't know how to say
you were colourblind.
(I was around 5 when I had to do a test which proved
me colourblind and it took my mother days to explain to
me I was different)
1978
Step in my footsteps
your father barked walking us
to school in the snow.
(Another early memory – 1978 was a terrible winter with my dad unable to get to work,
walked us to school in the heavy snow)

1977
Colour is seen
inside every poem
white is the paper
black is the pen.
1978
Love melted the snow
when your Father
picked you up from school.
