In a kingdom full of perspectives
Much I marveled the ideal principle
Deep into that darkness hunching
Vision - tormentor of my dreams
When I thought of the Vision
~
I heard a designing, happy dreaming
Of binoculars that are mainstreaming
I had dreamed of storms screaming
The light seemed happy streaming
~
Deep into that darkness fretting
I crave the puzzled, preliminary prevue
All my soul within me besetting
Ahh, the beautiful, colorful rainbow view
Deep into that darkness buffering
And the preview never frosting
~
Iris, retinal, view if you see this
I’m sure you do
Panavision multicolored reality decision
And the preview never frosting-vision

On An Ally Rely
On an ally we are supposed to rely,
And desire to do Trump did deny;
Around bush beat; (Think it was Billy)
Then did repeat;
Could never find a logical reason why.
If my poem in top 100 had been
Then I would write another again;
So great will be;
You should agree;
When poem begin later contest will win.
Tempestuous Trump Horn Haiku Series
Trump had to endure;
Am sure he is pure manure;
And for no known cure.
A word to the wise
Am sure Trump can't stabilize,
And we do despise.
No one shed a tear
Knowing Trump's twilight is near;
So will disappear.
Gave Trump one more chance,
For our country to enhance;
Watch long necktie dance.
Had to swing and sway,
While we looked the other way
With total dismay.
Did further prevue
And all our faces turned blue
As Trump applied screw.
Sure so distasteful
And always a bunch of bull;
Quite a few bags full.
Around Trump does mull;
Backers are deplorable;
He has been so dull.
Can't declare a truce;
For Trump we have no excuse;
Women did seduce.
Must be rather blunt;
With pack of mad dogs does hunt;
Acts like a young runt.
Jim Horn
The sky ironed out n da' morning divine
On a November day cold
Celestial rainbows born of peeping sunshine
Cloud dreams rush past unrolled
Under the bare leafless trees
Masqueraded hard to see
A bird lands on a branch'y trapeze
Whilst' a gusting humming bird laughs elusively
Yet in that moment prevue
A sparkle of butterflies at glance
Capturing shades of yellow and warm blue
As treetops sway to the wind of dance
A secret life in the windy air
Sultry skies in hues of grey and white
At the moment birds n' butterflies scare
The whole time sky cracking in sight
Pleading in chilly branches above
Whilst autumn boom rumble laughs merrily
Birds n' butterflies lying determinedly in love
O' plunder n' thunder strike with golden symphony
Autumn now sways in aquamarine streaks
Spreading opulently past the stars
As the night revolves the sound of birdland shrieks
End of rainbow, yonder far
Have you ever just gone outside
And breathed in the morning air
No longer strangled by emotion
Dangling above a tipped chair
Standing on the edge of God’s balcony
Your shirt flutters in the breeze
Prevue to the rebirth of solace
Stripped of life’s incurable disease
Do you remember the first time
The grass tickled your bare feet
Comforting your tiny footsteps
Leading to the cracked concrete
Were those tears that flowed
The day Daddy held you high
Or just raindrops from heaven
Washing hope down the drive
Oh, life is a funny thing
When it's only filled with regret
Kind of like a loaded pistol
Being cocked against your head
