Hi Rod This made me smile as I don't have Aspergers yet also consider a lot of the time that I am on another planet which this world revolves around! I love the simplicity of the statement so thanks for that."
Rod Wintour posted a discussionThe way we write
I get criticised for writing a lot about the same subject. The subject Aspergers. My 1st reason for writing poetry was to express myself on paper at a time I couldn't express myself to other people , a downside of Aspergers.. I learnt to use Poetry as a tool rather than an art form.Poetry has far more potential than just writing artistic language.It's a powerful tool, self healer and a way of helping others understand your perspectives of the world. Aspergers people think outside of the…See More

OCD SPIDER PART 5
OCD SPIDER PART 5
Hello again ‘’I’m back again ‘’
I’m a spider who serves the cause
Of Repeating mistakes again and again
Without a single pause
I find that catching flies is tough
And a time consuming hell
They are back and forth repetitively
They’ve got ocd as well.
I tried an anti aircraft gun
To shoot the beggars down
They darted and zipped all over the place
As I chased them over…

OCD Spider part 4
OCD SPIDER PART 4 and five
It’s OCD your favorite spider
Appearing back again
But I do have ASD as well
This shows up now and then
I had a blowout, yesterday
Which shocked my poor friend Deb
I stamped my legs so jolly hard
I pinged right off my Web!!
Then OCD from then kicked in
And I started spinning fast,
I couldn’t stop I just kept on
How long would this thing last?
I’m spinning, spinning, all around
Just hour…

Alexandra Laloli said… Hi Rod,
The last line of Don't Tell Mr Green made me laugh out loud. I too have had similar musing whilst in the presence of trees. In fact I have raved to my friends about the trees and then have said that very line. Funny.
Your poem is very clever.
