Its significance
perceive
the radical
notion
a catalyst
an advocate
to store the senses
bewitch
with guile:
much charm at play
with false
concepts
to mock
and deceive
Political Posturing Horn Haiku
"Very enduring;
Political posturing,
Has been quite the thing."
"Killing and dying;
Many people are crying;
Is no denying."
"God answer prayer
All of this is hard to bare
And we need your care."
I can't be any clearer than this.
James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran and
Renown Philosopher
By the gut this stubborn love rules me
By the throat it casts me to silence
By the hand it leads me
By the eyes it seeks me out
With head wrung and dizzy
Cast in spell that keeps mind wickedly iffy
I am the proof and living, though barely
Barely strong enough for standing
As I give it mouth
It sheads my dignity
And I give it life
While it parodies my sensibilities
Making of me fool
Fool that is startled easily
Then left to pass in shadows whose form is deceiving
What deceptive plans have you for me?
What schemes lay ahead in waiting?
To trip me up, to send me to my knees
Falling foolishly in love again it seems.
Economy reveals its frozen
Clown shaped orifice
Build a house now with these hands
She arches naked
Her hair, rinsed in natures life
Posture, proud and pert
