James Horn Poet Couplet

Was Writing a Book

Was Writing A Book

I am starting to think everyone knows
"Spy of Brunswick Town," was Confederate Rose
Read part of book and started to cry;
One day near Fort Fisher she would die.

With belt of Gold she was weighted down
Before war ended she would drown
And Medal of Honor has much history
Much about is is a complete mystery.

War never was completed to this day
About parts of it people dream away
Through files about war I started to look
About war someone was writing a book.

James Serious Mysterious Horn
Retired Veteran, Poet and Episcopalian

Edith Edwards of St. James Episcopal
wrote, "Spy of Brunswick Town." The key
to its success is character development and
being able to relate to them. Edith should
be rewarded for her great preparation of
this book. I loved it to its very end.

Also, I knew Henry Hall from West Virginia
who is now dead and his friend Larry Maisel.
I attended a book writing club with them in
Holden Beach. I am familiar with Joan Leotta
who is also part of Poetry Revisited.
If you let your imagination wander, you can 
picture much of what Edith is writing about.
