James Horn Poet Couplet

Always Abstain

Always Abstain



Are you a down-hearted poet with no spirit?

Tell Poetry Soup so all they can hear it

What I like about them and is so neat

To no one else will they ever repeat.



Center of attention is position you maintain

On a clear day or possibly out in the rain

Makes no difference what poems you prefer

With Poetry Soup, lifetime they will endure.



Have not found any calories in food for thought

And even though I might be bragging a lot

Hope you understand this pure and plain

From criticism, Poetry Soup will always abstain.



James Thomas Horn

Retired Soldier

Casarah Nance August 5, 2014 at 8:30 PM That is great, your poems are refreshing, I am so glad I clicked on yours tonight. Prepared to have my fingerprints all over your poems, you are good! James Horn August 5, 2014 at 9:48 PM We are all good in our own way. How about a Battle of the Poems. When you write one, I respond to it under my name. That should prove to be quite interesting. I just had a horrible thought. Just because we like rhyming poetry how would you like to be called a rapper like Mimenem which probably should be enema in the way that it all sounds?
