For 1,000th Poem So Check It Out

For 1,000th Poem So Check it Out

By so many things I have been smitten
This if for 1,000th poem which was written
For Poetry Soup and flourishing poets there
Finding poems nourishing but hard to bare.

Sure seemed to suffer a lot and much
Some with me refusing to stay in touch
Not only did he decide I was idiotic
Came to the conclusion I am psychotic.

Of my poems which one represents me?
Is their a possibility you may agree
Even after having said for heaven's sake
Another poem for you will I write and make?

Thousand poems set to be my greatest goal
And what if a few from other people I stole
Their poems claiming them to be mine
Would that really be too far out of line?

Forget it all and did decide to continue on;
When I am all finished, dead and gone
Afraid Horn's poems were full of God's wrath
Which is what they put on his epitaph.

Now come on. You can't tell that didn't 
raise at least a little chuckle. Jim Horn
