Yes, another subject close to my heart, being a grandparent of more than one autistic spectrum child. All of them are a gift to us, all of them a blessing, none of them an object to be judged, like an essay or mathematical homework. Thank you for adding to the argument.

Rose ( As it right truly be in middle English ( C.1380 )
Al be the rose with thornes kene ,
ful soore it prikketh me ,
yit is hir hewe so fressh on morwe so swete te biholde.
Whan dat a litel wynd hat overblowe hir leefes free ,
the smelle of hire ,in soft air borne,doth mak myn herte bold.
A litel been,y drawen to hir sugre reed ,he taketh flight ,
and leveth nought but bare stalk whan the flour y doun y -falle .
Thus fareth al fairnesse under sonne by day and nyght -
to springe to fade,to dye,such is the worldes alle .
Somtyme I clepe to mynde a rose I kepte ful faire,
presséd bitwix the leves of a book y- bounde in leef .
hir swote odour was agoon ,hir colour al forbare.
but stil it lay ther as a token of joy and of my greef .

I translate a language that no longer exists .
Middel English is neither old English nor modern english.
It is a shifting border zone full of local variations .
So the translation is never literal .
It consisted of guessing the intention through unstable spelling.
Dear friend ,my best poetic thoughts .

Lovely write Soren, you stated
“Now mere stalk and hip, seeds of fornication slip from your grip
So under autumn suns, as winter comes, a branch of memory I clip
Pressed between minds pages dried thoughts of past ages.”
There is depth here, this is definitely my favorite. You’ve definitely wrote something spectacular, overall this is a 👏🏻🙌🏼

Soren, that moment where “seeds of fornication slip from your grip”…that’s the line that stays. Raw, intimate, and perfectly placed. You let nature speak its own truth. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I\'ve noticed roses turning up a lot lately.
They must be the most sexy and alluring flower in the flower kingdom.
But they have a bad side, and many a protective glove has been pierced.
Still, the memory lingers and would we change that, probably not.

We all want a skyscraper to the sky, one step from heaven.
Sadly, only the money people reach those heights, and they don\'t care who sweated to get them up there.
Glad I just aimed for a bungalow.

You need a foundation which is sturdy and sound
and though you might try
You can\'t reach for the sky
if your feet are not firmly stowed on the ground

Living in a Town ; I sometimes hear an Owl which is such a Peaceful Sound to hear.
But to hear the \'Callings\' you describe: I\'m a bit envious. You paint a fine Picture. Love it.

This beautifully written poem is impactful and signifies the importance of diversity in nature and in human beings. Pressure to conform can stifle a developing mind, where fostering freedom to explore can encourage the desire to learn. Excellent Write!!
