You are familiar with the tale. A mermaid, sang with the most beautiful angelic sound. Had to surrender voice to be human and marry the prince. He wanted another princess, and poor mermaid dissolved in the ocean. Aphasia is: A snake that coils and hisses. Diabolical Ursula schemes to rule the ocean world. An evil witch who casts a spell over speech. A toothy fox ready to bite your head off. A sudden end to your dreams, only able to see a dark tunnel, the sun blocked. Disney gave the story a happy ending, so Ariel married the prince. With courage and strength, you overcome disability and are much better. You have learned much and are still alive. A fairytale ending to a scary fable. About the author:
Rochelle M. Anderson lives in Minnesota, USA. She is an attorney who had a severe stroke in 2007 and almost died. She is still disabled with difficulty walking, and because of aphasia struggles with reading and writing. Ms. Anderson has been published in four chapbooks, and several online poetry journals. Writing poetry has helped her recover, and dictation fuels her words.
