What a wonderful write this poem really is! I love how you used the correct language for the area, quite ingenious! I understand the colorblindness and how it can really affect a person! I new someone that was colorblind and I just know that he would have to be careful at intersections! I never knew what happened to him, if he ended up the same as colorblind slim! I thoroughly enjoyed this poem that I have read this afternoon. Great Work!!
