Jack Horne It Is
Jack Horne, I can’t help but admit,
Exhibits a quick wicked wit,
His limericks, shrewd,
And shamelessly lewd -
Oh boy, make me blush quite a bit.
Such gift in my books is a plus,
Bold heads think alike, that is us,
Don’t deviate, Jack,
From triumphant track -
You’re sworn by a curse and a

The Graveyard - a Collaboration With Jack Horne
Walking through the graveyard,
bird songs in the air;
sunlight makes it hard to see,
that death is everywhere.

I wander past the gravestones,
and hear my name again;
no one is there- sure of that,
I'm scared- I've gone insane!
I'm feeling

your kindness flows out like a river from your pen
to lend an ear and send some cheer from across

Jack Horne
I have two curious calico cats,
and just like them, I am a curious kitty,
gosh, I would like to take a long voyage,
to England and meet Jack Horne!
We have talked by comment, e-mail, letter,

and mine is not too good either!
He

To Cyndi Macmillan, From Jack Horne
By day the toys surround her in a group,
But when her little girl is sleeping sound,
The keyboard’s where our poet will be found,
To write some magik lov - her words astound;
She always brings the gift of joy to Soup.
Merry Christmas, Cyndi xx
*For PD’s contest
Cyndi wrote a poem, Lov is Magik, as a girl

Close Friends From Afar - Co-Write With Jack Horne
From across the sea, good wishes I receive:
Cards, greetings, special gifts from a kind man I've never met.
But it's the warmth he offers that makes a difference in my life.
How blessed I am to have such a compassionate friend;
The Soup not only unites nations, but creates welcome friendships.
It's been six months, but it seems
