Then I Cried and Cried Horn Haiku

Before never cried;
Until one day my dad died
And I cried and cried.

My dad was killed on the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid.
It is in New York Harbor with my dad's name on 
a plaque inside: ARTHUR FREDERICK HORN, CPO,
AOC. I had...

Dad Did Die

Why was it really meant to be?
Dad did die serving his country
Me and my family are left alone
Each day when the sun had shone.

I am still so lonely each night
And sad tears off have to fight
Never...

Sitting on the old black oak, where we used to fish together,
lost in the past, I think back, and remember a better day.
You wrote to me about your new ship, and new friends,
and your new Pontiac, with only twenty-two payments left to pay.

The morning's rain...

I sit here in front of my husband
Overlooking a small pond 
Pine trees with pinecones on them
A bird flits from one head stone 
to the next, staring at me

The speckled granite stone 
stands tall engraved with a 
Celtic cross
In the center

My Ocean Wave

Sounds to me like my ocean wave,
Where sailors died and is their grave;
Over my dad's grave it does flow;
Was to us such a serious blow.

Near Sicily location is two miles off of;
200 feet below body of one we love;
Now rests there where he...

So many soldiers today want to embellish
Who we all should forever try to relish
Saw badges and medals worn by them
We now sing and offer this humble hymn.

There is no way that I could be more direct
Each soldier and sailor deserves our...

My dad is buried in the sea so deep, 
Off of Sicily where he now does sleep;
God, there please comfortably keep, 
While I am counting more sheep.

They fell in love at a Star Wars Convention
When the marriage fell apart,
I thought they would stop dressing like 3-CPO
Neither wanted to give up the costume
To this extent
They both attended their divorce party
Where they celebrated with a Star Wars cake....
