Summer and Florida

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)

SUMMER
Hot sun, the tall trees with leaves
They look like spots in the sky.
It is summer, nobody is sleepy and cold
They are set for the hot summer.
With the summers before,
This summer will be more.
The summer may have rainy days but it pays.
And dying from the heat take off your clothes
And put on your bathing suit,
And go to the beach,
And have a picnic and for dessert
Have a peach.
The summer is more than the hot sun,
It is having fun.

FLORIDA
What a hot world it is.
Sweat until tears come out
of your eyes.
The summers up here may be hot to us,
Go to there you will die and bust.

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…
