SOLO EGO
line dance
per chance
Beneath the sunset,
tall sweet grass sways silently,
Charleston Bay sighs.
Gold kisses green at day's end,
gentle waves of amber light.
A sweet Chow Chow called Charleston Dinah
Was court-ordered to go back to China
Told: Leave the U.S.
You made this covid mess!
She arfed: You nut I’m from North Carolina!

JAZZ
Just eighty-four, Grandma
Jives to Michael Jackson,
Jogging memories of
Jumping into fox trots
Jolts of Charleston dance,
Joyous beat of brass bands,
Jubilant flapper times.

God Give Us Relief
The Charleston killings
were really sad.
In the night, he was like a thief;
Causing much suffering and grief;
Such sadness in us would instill,
And several people he would kill;
Pray to God to give us His relief.
Jim Horn
Thirst Highly Elevated With Others
My thirst had become highly elevated;
Flow ceased and I no longer salivated;
Oh why not;
Thirst got caught;
Drank case of coke God for me created.
Will be preying for Charleston train
collision survirors.
Jim Horn
Charcoal polished fingernails poke the clouds,
Gun metal arms staunch and concrete,
flex under the sun.
Chiseled gray palms clasp tightly,
shelter gummed pavement .
Still,praying hands protect Charleston Harbor.
Structual magnificence.
Steel Beauty.
A small piece of Cooper River Bridge history.

All Things About South
Every thing about South is worth preserving,
Down to last bit and we should be conserving;
For long while,
Southern style,
And whole place we feel like we are desrving.
Jim Horn
Watching Anthony Bourdain and his visit to
Charleston. He also went to Hemmingway, SC
source of greatest barbecue.
CHARLESTON
kick feet
off beat
NOTE:A footle is a two line ,2 syllable verse with an integral title-Light Poetic verse form,witty,pertinent,topical etc (technically a trochaic monometer and not necessarily in rhyme).A 'hybrid' innovative sequenced variation has
developed over the years (since 2009)alongside the original definition
The Gullah people drift with the tide,
existing by the Charleston seaside.
Their lives more often unduly harsh,
yielding and melding with the marsh.
Africans of Dominican voice impressed.
Tales of Bruh rabbit are among the best.
From all over the world they came
Slaves, but, of rice field planting fame.

The spirit that wrought hate
meet GOD on that date
On June seventeen
mankind clearly seen
Another clash of glory
in America's history
Satan's rendezvous with GOD
gave America a new start
But, Evil isn't done
until this war is won
In the End
GOD wins

Deckle Library In Charleston
Charleston has a library they call Deckle;
When going will wear our each spectacle;
Meeting lead;
A poem read;
Out of us should never make a spectacle.
Jim Horn
PS. We ended up trying to find a speckle
of a freckle and we ended up having to
spend our last shekel which ended up
being quite a spectacular spectacle.
Impoverished raise like farming
Owning a pig, lots of chickens, rooster, hen;
Not in the sixteen-hundreds;
Made one’s own foods from scratch,
This foyer placement in time itch;
Below the Mason-Dixon Line, 1969;
Charleston, Missouri woe to--
Tom Sawyer’s
---Black friend Jim

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026©
She ripped his heart
right out
sold his heart
for baseball cards
and now
she
lives in Charleston
below the big
oak tree
in her mind
she can see
the way it used
to be
the times
they had
had
been so bad
but had also
been so
good
and now she
sits
and smokes the
day away
for in her haste
she left behind
the only man
that made her blind
Stella Lou was outside a long time
What is she doing out there? Her grandpa asked.
Why don’t you peek out? Suggested grandma.
Stella Lou was in a long conversation with their pony.
Charleston, their pony, looked enthralled.
He was in love with her like he had been with her mother.
Remind you of anybody? Grandma asked him.
He nodded, too overcome to speak.
Their daughter had been missing for a year now.
Jesus loves the young people in Zambia.
His message they should hear.
A mission to this country?
This far less to fear.
Roanoke, Zambia news anchors aren't shot
I don't believe there is such a place
Charleston Zambia churches aren't attacked
And parishioners aren't laid to waste.
The children of Zambia need lessons.
From God almighty word
The time is now the land is ripe
The gospel to be heard
Eyes fiery red
Piercing through sheets of ice
No time to listen now
I guess you will think twice
Eyes fiery red now
What's left to say
Don't want you here now
Why can't you just go away
Eyes fiery red now
As you continue to creep in
I have gave you your last warning
Which you greeted with a grin
Eyes clear blue now
The red doesn't stay for long
I will not let you steer me
For I'm much to strong
Joshua Charleston 11/8/2015
Pollen green 3 inches
Of allergen confection, powders outdoor landmarks.
A few ticks past dawn,
New birds, preflight,
Tune up their chirping chords,
Like nature's philharmonic, knowing the neighborhood
Is soon to enter their amphitheater, in, from their rooms of sleep.
Little lizards scurry, large clouds puff up and move through,
Steel blue, morning skies.
Sunshine coats deer and fox,
Chipmunk and squirrel,
And lovely life grooves
In time with God
All Around South Had To Hike
All around South did have to hike,
And every single bit of it did like,
To bare bone,
When alone,
Even riding trike when a little tyke.
Jim Horn
Crab with conch and zucchini and okra.
Sound familiar? Some guy said that
grits are not as good as they used to
be. Probably forgot to put butter on
them. Remember Gullah culture and
Charleston River Dogs and Savannah
Southerners baseball team.
Have you ever heard of Huck's in
Charleston before?
