  You aptly describe this poem as just “a glimpse into the life of a blind child.” As sighted, even compassionately-minded people, we struggle often to fully comprehend the inner world experiences of those who have little or no vision; or have lost, or now have exceedingly limited vision of the outer world. A brother of mine, a grown man, a senior citizen, now falls into the latter category. And yet, he remains surprisingly positive, emotionally strong, and even caring; despite his obvious handicap. Your poem is indeed merely a glimpse into the emotional life of the unsighted. And so you’ve depicted your poem as “Just a little blind kid.” We must certainly all wonder how much more is there to that ‘kid’ potentially, than what appears to us as his ‘lack’ of outer vision that, in some manner strange to us, may not hinder after all his actively roaming imagination to creatively ‘fill in the blanks.’ Thank you, sir, for this poem. more »

    Thank you for the deep analysis Karl. Yes indeed, the actively roaming imagination can creatively fill in the blanks for the little kid. The understanding, love and understanding of those around him world help. Your observations made my day. more »
