RAINBOW DREAM

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)

For Carolyn Johnson

When a rainbow appears against gloom
The spectra is as a dream of affection,
With a passion that is a sensation to a dreamer
It’s a rainbow of pleasant pleasure,
In a dream of desire,
Fulling passionate affections in a dreamer,
With a gloomed appearance in the back of it,
A rainbow is a dreamer against gloom,
Defined by the spectrum of sensation and passion,
That is a fine pleasure appearing in desire.

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…
