The heart of a child
Little Aleks with his sunshine smile,built castles high for just a while.Seashells clattered with clickety-clack,as pirates searched for treasures on his back.But with each new birthday, his world unfurled,lessons whispered by a breeze that swirled. His toybox friends, they held court each day,sharing secrets in their old, dusty way.The bear, with patches and a lopsided ear,taught kindness and how to conquer fear.Books were portals to faraway places,with princesses bold and curious faces. Kites took wing in the wide open sky,while paper planes dared to soar so high.Muddy puddles, like mirrors so bright,reflected clouds in the warm summer light.And as laughter faded into sighs so deep,the aches of growing chased away…

The land of weekends
Wishing you a weekend of laughter and light! I hope my poem brings a smile to your face. My poem: Friday giggles at day’s final bow,whispering secrets, with time running slow.A portal hums bright, a path softly gleams,the land of weekends calls forth my dreams. Through cotton-cloud tunnels, my spirit takes flight,where Saturdays shimmer in marshmallow light.Lollipop trees sway, their branches so sweet,each leaf a wish, where laughter and joy meet. On bubblegum hills, I bounce and I sing,chasing fireflies, each with a glittering wing.Jellyfish bounce with a bubbly rebound,their laughter a jiggle, a magical sound. By the lemonade sea, a sandcastle gleams,its windows of sugar, spun from sweet dreams.Seaweed…

We’re labeled as closed-off, but I suspect the world needs to broaden its understanding just as well. This Autism Acceptance Month, as an autistic person, I offer a poem layered with metaphor. True acceptance goes beyond words; it sees our differences not as deficits, but as a spectrum of ways to experience the world. Our yearning to connect is universal. Explore more…

Every voice shines bright (World Autism Awareness Day)
Hello everyone! Today is World Autism Awareness Day, a special day designated by the United Nations to celebrate and advocate for autistic people everywhere. My little brother Ilya and I – we’re both autistic – decided to write a poem together to honor the occasion. We hope you enjoy it! I know I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately. School and dance keep me super busy! But I promise to post more often this month, especially since April is Autism (Acceptance) Month. As an autistic person, it’s important to me to shine a light on autism, and I know my dad plans to share some deeper thoughts on…
