Book by book,
I see the hook,
How about we have a look,
Don't make me choke,
I am with a bottle of Coke,
I hear a creek,
I am not a Greek,
The shrubs are on a bleak,
Glistened by the sleek,
I soften my cheek,
Keep me in check,
For the high-tech,
I smell a stench,
Without a blench,
I learned in French,
I did not sench,
Into a trench,
I'm blanch,
I went on blank,
I did not want to stay submerged,
I on a search,
For a lurch,
That I could not wait for my lunch,
I sat on a hunch,
I go for a punch,
Wait, it is the launch,
I would not move an inch,
That starts with an itch,
I did not put a salt on my stitch,
To worsen the condition of a hitch,
I run away with a glitch,
I am out of reach,
For more research,
Of what I found and searched.
Robust shivering,
the world feels optimistic;
A chill in the air.
birth out in the mist
bright things then have birth
between the beauty and decay
molten lead adjourned
the faithfulness of a century
lies bedridden
the missives continueth
Doom stirs the mosaics of dearth
please do not disturb
the cadence of tomorrow's plan
The butterflies hoover
She is pensive without robust affect
Her skin is placid, her hair nondescript
the artist either did not know her well or….
did not like her much.
She looks almost disgusted
With life? With the world? With a husband?
Difficult to say
but easy to see on her face
The breaking news is about Eric:
That he now wants to be a cleric,
Eyes on scriptures that once pissed him off,
His time for verses that stirred his cough.
Satan has, since, been mad, tears at nights.
But-trust him - is bouncing back for fights!
Now tells Eric that he is robust,
Bulging muscles all over his bust,
His argument that the vigorous
Wisely faces the Damned Rigorous!
Satan shall for Eric cancel 'Cleric'
Meet the Branch Manager of Berec
To present Eric as "Battery"
The fact voicing not as flattery.
Rivers rinse rocky riches
Rockets race revolutionary reaches
Rudeness rusts royal rewards
Righteousness reflects real ranks
Radios recreate retro refreshments
Relaxations restart revolting ranges
Roadways route routine regulations
Rational rage renders realisations
Restaurants reap ripe reviews
Readers remember robust resources.
Yours shall be
Your day shall be
Filled
With nothing but the goodness of God
Your day will be robust,
bright and joyful
in blessing as such so
open your mouth and praise JESUS

Some say this pie is criminal,
mozzarella drenched with pineapple;
Pizza to devour or throw
euphoric or a waste of dough;
Two palates, one robust battle.

I'm good friends with my past
I'm unknown by my peers because I'm constantly in a mask
My good deeds are shadows, my blunders are vast
I've travelling fast!
"Where are you going", I've been asked.
My journey to grey hair & regret
My battle with acceptance & respect
My pain purified with blackmail & neglect
"Hold my hand & try relate... while it's still early
I'm a moment, I'm not constant... I'm on my own journey
Robust Races
We were really off to the robust races, When the moment my mind embraces;
Radical racist;
Never on list;
Found a variation in all of their faces.
Great and So Robust Horn Limerick
She was really great and so robust;
Forever after her I want to lust;
Dream of mine who is really cute;
Looks great in skirt or a pantsuit;
But me with our money does not trust.
Right dear!!!
Jim Horn
Eager and Robust
So God who is eager and robust
Who once made us all out of dust
Everything and amount is all knowing
Grains of sand and seeds needing sowing.
God's seeds will not cease to exist
Helps those who I'm Military enlist
Then He teaches us how to cherish
Those who into waves would perish.
God gracious yet with power and might
Be sure to hold me tight every night
And prepare me with another warning
Of what may happen tomorrow morning.
Now that by God I have been prepared
Am no longer afraid or became scared
Ending up where God wanted me to be
Up in heaven in presence of His Deity.
James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
Music is a reiteration of self
Humbling a wide selection of conceptions
That trade away masquerades so that the truth will be dealt
It’s shown in my ears, defiance of my peers
Deliver an astonishing attempt
At artful resentment
But
As it goes,
I’d rather uphold my vision of such proceedings
And holster my dumb-droll to the cadence of rest
Rhythmus frivolous destructive creativity ascribed as venomous
But I assert for what its worth it’ll draw a plaid on your shirt
Into your blank-faced words that couldn’t draw upon the surface
What a few detergent rounds could instill into the sound
Note, a voice’s only weakness, it destroys the facetious
Observe
