English Borough

English Borough

In my poetic life, this is a milestone
And my personal one that I own
Accomplished by none other than me
Who much better poet do want to be.

With each poem I write are better each day
Poems are improving have heard some say
Me a master poet would you really believe
And all of that attention start to receive.

From first day they discovered I was born
My mother started calling me Jimmy Horn
And started to think my chances were slim
If she would ever start calling me Jim.

Soon to gorgeous wife married became
And now go by Jim which is the same
Name I need for a poet who will promise
My name is James Horn and middle one Thomas.

Enjoyment of writing poems is very thorough
From each town in America to English borough
Even when my poems may sound sad and down
I am motivated by Poet Cooper who is world renown.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Poet
Now Past One Thousandth Poem.
