A Combined Poem

A Combined Poem If I am limited to ten poems a day I'm sure there must be a way To write all my poems until done And will combine them all into one. Poems are perfect not wanting to waste With a new one each day I am faced To write which are so very pleasing As volume and velocity are increasing. My poem amount has become huge And hope to remove all the subterfuge Which on occasion is worth repeating So successfully obstacles can be meeting. Each morning to wrote poems cannot wait There is no doubt they will become great And vital as part of a poetry recital Poet Laureate some day will be my title. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran Can Always Trust People at Poetry Soup can always trust To do there is something that I must Send all my poems in emails to you So can read them through and through. There is a quadrain and a quatrain And iambic hexameter which should remain Central subject in my poetic philosophy Affecting all of the verbage and its viscosity. What I am saying is smoothly flowing And a great temptation now is growing From time I had first gotten out of bed After morning prayer to God I just said. I'm like a lover of the Lord who was led By all of God's food I was recently fed Which would be things making me willing To write poems and purpose be fulfilling. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran For Themselves Did Create Were friends but still often fought A lot and often could get caught When all our dander up was raising Then ended up applauding and praising. To a movie show we started to go Not knowing what on us would bestow Stories about people being belligerent And always fighting wherever they went. Believe all of this wanted to refuse That Tolkien anyone would abuse And maybe someone like you and me Will never hurt or have harmed a flew. But still we watched battles going on After that someplace then had gone Which is reason I seem to understand Why they ended up creating a Disneyland. James Thomas Horn Retired Soldier

Good way to put out more poems James but hard to concentrate on as a reader. By the time you're on the last you forget the first. Sometimes it's hard concentrating on one poem at a time. The question is, do you just want to get your poetry in here quickly or do you want people to read and enjoy each poem? I'm not trying to criticize you because I respect you to much, I just would like to understand this better.

Also you just reminded me. Another poet friend of mine liked poems only 12 lines in length with a max of 16. Anything longer only was exhausting and wore out his 75 year old mind. Jim Horn

Rather then sending three or four poems at a time that I just wrote over the last two hours, it is easier to type them all up this way. I hate typing. What I really need is to be able to read a poem and enter it into poetrysoup or story telling. Was just trying it out to see how people would respond to it. Jim Horn
