Analysis of The Sightless Poet.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Soft wings open to feathered eyes,
A pettycoat of flowers in words and scribes,
Details linked to tastes and sounds,
Feelings smelt and dreams were found.
The poet watched - the blind man spoke.
What the poet naught, he told a joke.
To see is worthy of gifted word but for no life of me absurd.
