Jai Bankson Poet Light Verse

''Refracted Reflection''

Some may write
                                              Some stay still 
                                   Hand still not standing
                                       Mind of it's own will

                       Written about them more than I care to admit
                                           Feet getting jealous
                                         Ready to throw their fit

                                                   Humor 
                                                      I try
                            Though now and again I do not get a deny

                            Their laughter and smile I do long to see
                             Reflections offering something different
                                      
                                        Pieces of the mirror
                                          Refracted pieces
                                           missing of me
  
                                            Different people
                                  Diluted images stop to say hi
                                            A simple glance
                                         Regrettably regretting
                                    Though this not good bye
                                                                

                                                                  374 days since I saw her smile''But whose counting''
                                                                                                   ''JustDoc''
               
                ''We'' kicked round one of stage three in the throat
                 Round two was a demon
                 Round three,Our Father brought her back Home
                                                                                    Miss you ''PeeWee''

I just was looking through the list of people who follow me and noticed I hadn't seen any poetry from you lately, so came by to check how you were doing. Hope the sun shines a little brighter for you everyday.

Kelly Deschler August 7, 2016 at 1:51 PM When we lose a loved one we also lose some pieces of ourselves. But, we shouldn't let that be the only reflection of us... An expressive poem, Jai, and so very moving... Nicely written!

Jolene Cheyney July 27, 2016 at 4:31 PM So sorry to hear that you've lost somebody you love. Very nice poem to express that lost and maybe help you heal.
