James Horn Poet Couplet

Until My Dying Day

Until My Dying Day

To me, greatest all of my poems are
They always will be the best by far
In my mind and what was intended
Hoping thoughts are easily apprehended.

Poetry perfection was far from my mind
Would be blessed if you could be so kind
To either like my each poem or pretend
Positive thoughts to me shall start to send.

To write more poems, I can hardly wait
After reading them, they then will radiate
Throughout your very being and soul
Inspire you to write poems is my goal.

So perfectly quiet everything became
Love and appreciate more of the same
By my poems you have been blown away
Will write more and more until my dying day.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
