Analysis of A strong wind

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)



The air is nice and fresh.
We could walk freely.
Skipping against the air,
smell the freshness.
Summer hot, with a nice breeze.
Swish, the wind sways, like
a fresh new day.
Cool trees, into the sea.
It is strong,
whistle a song, weigh the sky.
Smell the fresh cent,
like falls leaves.

Pollution in the dust.
Do you see.
Free is our life, we live.
We’ll just a rememberance.
That will be forgotten.

Dr. T. Pinnock

Dr. Pinnock first wrote poetry in the institution he resided in inside a classroom at 8 years old. The typewriter was old and manual with a keyguard. A keyguard is a device with an opening for each key to prevent a person lacking fine motor skills from accidentally hitting a key. Dr. Pinnock was granted permission to use the class alone. He labored there typing for hours ignoring his cerebral palsy. Dr. Pinnock grew up with his family until August of 1970. Poverty forced his parents to make him a ward of the State of Connecticut. more…
