POEMS
INDIAN GIVER (A HAIKU)
He gave me his heart
Then without advance notice
Bestowed it to her
—Jennifer Brown Banks
DEITY?
(FOR AN EX-BOSS)
(FOR AN EX-BOSS)
Contrary to your opinion,
You ain’t GOD,
In fact,
I’m not even sure
You’re human!
—Jennifer Brown Banks
“BLOOD” RELATIVES
United
By common blood lines—
Separated by different views,
“Distorted lenses”
Unshared values,
Creating
“Bad blood”
Trickling
Seeping
Building
Bad memories
Shared over good food
Coagulating
Family love
—Jennifer Brown Banks
