Reflect

Daryl Wayne Baxter

Life numb.
Glamour foul.
Still you uphold avail.
Must it be restored; restelss written spoken word.
Ignored very noted word; every spoken word, you have ignored.

Mirrors reflect as so do words.
Must I say, you seem to be so; so sad, I must say it so.
Words reflect when spoken.
However, reflection you have ignored.

Daryl Wayne Baxter

My work not meant to be of perfection, it never has been; nor is it, to myself, of Epic proportion. Its perception is importantly the opinion of the reader, critic, and/or reviewer. It is an importance to me, the thoughts of the reader, no matter if it is misunderstood, misleading, or ill represented. It is only my personal, poetically artistic creations. In addition, throughout the years, 2004-2007; I received awards of outstanding achievements in poetry, from poetry.com. My poetry written here is same of sorts. Thanks, for all your time in reading, reviewing, and criticizing, no matter its negativity or its positivity. It is greatly appreciate. Sincerely, I give much respect! Daryl Wayne Baxter more…
