Analysis of Spring Suprise

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)



It was March 23 when I awaken from my rest. The was shining in my face... My room was filled with light, it was a lovely feeling against my eyes.

Yesterday the sun was clouded by clouds, yet now the sun is glowing along the grass. I had forgotten that spring had come, it shocked and surprised me.

When it turned 11:42 Richard and I went outside to appreciate and The Spring Air.

The wind blew gracefully in my apple heart. I looked up, the sun was shining in my black eyes.

Jeffery was already outside, He was listening to the radio. A song came on that fitted the day perfectly.

My day ended and I thought to myself what a surprising spring.

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…
