Throw Poems Into a Pond

Throw Poems Into A Pond Suppose all of your poems I were to abscond Take all of them and throw right into a pond Where water would end up washing them off And then put each one into a smaller trough. Properly place them on poem line to dry out Then try to remember what they were about A few may be observed as being an obsession Others are with errors and do need correction. Now that my perfect poems are all around Should I complete by adding surround sound So that all poems you are properly hearing Confusion and frustration will start disappearing. What if every poem I then tried to condense And ended up satisfying your every sense Knowing that you have grand total of five To perk up poems making them become alive. After reading poems and they ran their course And you just jumped on and mounted a horse Who for a while walked in circles to unwind Got dizzy and left all of your poems behind. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran There are many messages in this poem.
