Things About You I Admire

When I read whole poem in its entire
There is something about you I admire
Poem can produce peace and tranquility
Will all your thoughtfulness and ability.

Poem you wrote is effective and efficient
With steadfast effort that will not relent
Always love poems after they are done
By God as poet, you are His chosen one.

I had been tired and confused for a while
Heard word ADMIRE on TV and did compile
This very poem you are about to read
Helping you reach a goal fulfilling a need.

Over and over many words are displayed
On this single page and more words I wade
Through in my mind so a poem can create
When I reach an end to myself I celebrate.

Pretty soon in my mind more poems arrive
And after chaos and confusion do survive
Source was from news and all that I heard
About events in world which had occurred.

What I thought of and really intended
Was write poems and leave them open-ended
And when I will do this it does allow a way
To add something to poem you wanted to say.

This is how poem was created.

Nandita, The only well-done thing done about my poem is how well read it was by you. Think I will change my name to Nandito for a poem that is a small nuance. Wow. What is it that Catie and you like about my poems? Jim Horn
