Janice Jackson Poem
You stare at me with liquid,brown,eyes that grow dimmer as each day goes by
Trying to communicate with a mouth that cannot speak,my heart slowly breaks.
You lie against me, so warm at night protecting me from the cold,
I feel you shiver, I try to cover you but you pull away,sometimes leave the room.
What more can I do to make you see the love I feel for you?
We still walk together down leaf-covered walks, the wind blowing in your hair,
Sometimes you stare up into the blue sky, sometimes you seem so far away,
What thoughts are passing through your mind, do you know how much I care?
No matter what the future holds, no matter how much I cry,
My love, my friend, my dog.

Janice Jackson Poem
I don't remember when I first knew that I was lost to the world,
I live in a void,not sure where or why,but inside, I know this is true.
My eyes are clear, my hearing good,i should be easily understood,
But nobody sees me, nobody hears,if I touch them my hand passes through.
I thought I was dead but my body feels warm,
I see green grass, I smell the sea, why can nobody hear or see me, I wonder.
I laugh, I cry, I have loved and I have lost, did I just float away or am I lost?
Am I a fragment of someone elses imagination, a scrap of the past in space?
Why am I trapped here and how do I leave? Am I an electronic blip placed in a host?
Am I nothing more than a ghost?
Will I appear someday or am I forever lost?

Janice Jackson Poem
Daddy why can't we go for a walk out in the woods and find some deer?
My darling little girl, there are no deer in the woods anywhere now.
Why daddy? Did that big light scare them away? where did they go?
The big light scared all the animals away my child, no animals will be seen anymore.
Daddy I was afraid when all those planes flew over our house!
Baby there is nothing to be afraid of, it is all over now.
I want my mama, why did those men take her away? Will she be home today?
No, little girl she will not be home. She is very sick and we are safe at home.
Daddy why do all those snow flakes fall? It isn't very cold.
Will Santa Clause come to see me?
Baby girl I don't really know.
Daddy why are you sleeping? I think I am afraid.
Daddy why won't you wake up now? I'm not very brave.

Janice Jackson Poem
A sweet baby girl born into society with beautiful parents, wealth and fame,
nannies, toys, a plethora of games.
When she was two, she was taken to the fair, placed on a unicorn, her momma was there. The carousel turned slowly, unicorn up and down, cameras flashing,she was not afraid, her picture to be placed on the society page.
Five years old she went to the fair, her nanny was with her, parents not there. Mother was in Paris, daddy in Japan, business trips as usual, her parents told her that they would be home soon, and they were sure she would understand. The carousel turned faster, the unicorn up and down, she laughed, she was happy, the unicorn would never let her down.
The years passed by, she drove to the fair, a brand new car from her parents who could not be there. The carousel turned faster, the unicorn went up and down, people who watched her were only a blur as she spun around.
One last time she went to the fair, a grown woman now, time to put childhood behind,
she wanted to ride the unicorn one last time.
Faster and faster the carousel turned, the unicorn going up and down. Oh how she wished that away they could fly, to a magical kingdom somewhere in the sky.
The sky turned black, people ran for their cars, the thunder roared, lightning struck all around.
A brilliant yellow light, a flash from the sky, the lights from the fair turned dark one by one, the people were stunned by the sight that they saw, the carousel was still turning
but going so slow.
The unicorn was missing, pulled from his pole, it's rider was gone, never to be seen anymore.
