James Horn Poet Haiku

Poke Than Provoke and Broke

Would Poke Than Provoke Until Broke

had heard when they poke
potential was to provoke
would do until broke

we read about Jobe
was wild when he wore a robe
earing in each lobe
(in room had a globe)

had been cynical
when war was political
am hysterical

often obsequious
he had been called hibiscus
presumed promiscuous

would wear uniform
which always did keep him warm
protect in a storm

found dog in his lap
around would slap and slap
in brain was a gap

he had an instinct 
when it did become distinct 
in certain precinct

when we heard compline
knew Jesus was always fine
glad that He is mine

we were paddling
when we first met Madeleine
her horse saddling

was a perfect host
paperback did cost the most
he would brag and boast
(Admiral Stavrides)

over eggs would flip
had looked like a sinking ship
when we got a grip

spring is in the air
at singing birds sit and stare
scared away by big bear
