James Horn Poet Haiku

Will Amuse With Proper Shoes

we may have the blues
should stop then we will amuse
choose the proper shoes

read news page by page
when my bright mind may engage
could see cat in cage

constant covenant
good looks appeared prevalent
where ever she went

there had been much trash
we could see in Calabash
things may cost much and cash

saw pretty Persian
scattered in a dispersion
while on an excursion

had been escorted
became badly distorted
will be deported
