Here is a poem I wrote tonight that was inspired by a blind friend's
experience with an inaccessible web form with a blue button that could not
be accessed in order to complete it. I am writing as if in her voice, but
any of uswithout sufficient vision to interpret a computer screen would run
into this problem.
Any comments are welcome.

Blue Button
When I came to a web form
I wished only I had proper access.
If to its requirements I could conform
I could achieve full success.
You tell me to click the button that's blue
I reply I simply cannot see, what can I say?
And without physical vision I see no hue
No matter if green, orange or gray.
I am left wondering what to do.
For with the computer voice it cannot be read
I'm left feeling very blue,
And it's enough to make me see red
If I could sense the color by touch,
Or if it only had the proper tag
It would help so very much
So that the job would be in the bag
So to all I would implore
To institute the correct fix.
Such an act I would adore,
For then I would be fully in the mix.
