Once having parted, with me
Left, overnight
For its sorrowful worldview
A rainstorm's fright.
As what doomed, hysterically
Shaky, sobbing wet
Sunned peace of it; this my face;
And your fair garden.
A-twirl as twere. Each cheek then.
May-drooped. Each budlet. *

Horn Haiku of Course
are apprehensive
paid much and was expensive
damage extensive
words in each sentence
would express much arrogance
needed repentance
what they would have said
my sad poems should be read
so tears can be shed
had a lot of gall
cut tall tree down that did fall
always would appall
at a cinema
on screen saw an enigma
need an enema
on ground seeds will throw
which we did do row by row
we would watch them grow
great poems we will write
about birth a precious sight
to read did invite
Christ is courageous
of had been many cases
which were contagious
want to hear a joke
sold down river and are broke
wish that Trump could croak
moron a mystic
who had become a critic
we went ballistic
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
I'm anxious about the future
I'm caught up in the past
I'm fearful towards those
petty things
I thought would never last
You never see what's meant to be
You never can detach
What's darkest and most beautiful
Is the shadow that it casts
We're two people that have been around
To much lost and nothing found
We share time with a lot of fun
If things get close we both will run
I won't say I love you
Don't say you love me too
One thing I can't pretend
You are my one and only friend
You text me with a smiley face
I meet you at the coffee place
Talk and laugh whatever we choose
We both know what there is to lose
I won't say I love you
Don't say you love me to
One thing I can't pretend
You are my one and only friend
Tasteless pelt whiffs of mundane air
Against my nostrils numb with dread;
Scarcely fathom I what spectacle fair
Beyond this umbra curtain latent lies.
Tetchy harbingers over dark corners
Lurk under dismal mirage-like cloud;
Tomorrow's dreams in eldritch lines
Occlude wisest presages renowned.
Each day's bleak bulletins present
Chillily menacing brutish shadows,
As jinxed year's tides forward hop
Into ever-spiraling strangling woes.
Suave eccedentesiast lips no longer
Can mask sore past's swelling blight,
Nor plastic laughter as finely conceal
Apprehensive misgiving's inured bite.
Though indelible certainty clear outline
Of stealthily skulking prospect obscure,
And crafty clock dials key inchings hide,
This menaced soul shall still reign pure.
Be brave be free control your emotions
Whirlwind of feelings like waves in the ocean
Explosion of thoughts affecting your mind
Frightened to explore what will you find
Shaken and apprehensive falling to pieces
Cracks appearing wrinkles and creases
Covering the reality up with a false and fake smile
Underlying issues around for a long long while
Others naive proceeding through life alone
Unaware and oblivious the truth is unknown
Always preferred to keep it that way
We struggle to share our feelings every single day
scared of predators
sits on an oak awaken
snarfing the peanuts

Sensative to Offensive and Apprehensive
Somethings to we are very sensitive;
So many others have been offensive;
Totally diverse,
In this universe;
Can be considerate yet apprehensive.
Jim Horn
How do you write
when you're afraid people are going to read it?
So much apprehension
and feelings of distrust
waiting for the waves to come crashing down
Friends far and in between
yet no one stays true
The tension is building
and the current is getting stronger
There's only one I hope on now
because I don't sense betrayal from them
but hold back a few more seconds
The waves are crashing back down again
