Scientific Discovery…
but one grand paradox
The Spacetime Continuum
—contradiction defined
(Greensboro North Carolina: April, 2019)
It's another North Carolina morning,
Just before I see the sun rise.
To lighter blue the sky is turning,
And nature wakes opening her eyes.

There are very pretty girls in North Carolina,
But they’re not all named Caroline, or Charlotte
Beware of confusion, a summer at the beach,
Watch out for temptation, strawberry ice creams.
North Carolina
A young woman of North Carolina,
Danced on tables at a down-town diner.
Serving Chilli-dogs and fries,
To leering men she despise,
This Lady deserves something much finer.
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!

A young North Carolina preacher named Billy Graham
Was filled with God's Words, and knew how to say 'em
All across the nation, many people came to salvation
Now heaven will be home to more than a few; how about you
ive never met anyone in this life
as nervous as deputy barney fife
andy gave him a big gun
but a bullet only one
and will thelma ever become his wife

With no advanced ticket,
I pay as I go
My boarding left open,
still more things to know
The day train a local,
expresses by night
My spirit rolls inward,
—next station in sight
(Highpoint North Carolina: April, 2017)
The morning bid welcome,
the night said goodbye
The sun gave us reasons,
the moon made us cry
The cycle repeated,
the old freed the new
The darkness retreated,
—the spirit imbued
(Highpoint North Carolina: April, 2017)
Be in awe of yourself,
ever struck with delight
Gift wrapping your thoughts,
in the goodness of life
Treasure the memories,
letting go of the pain
Releasing the wonder
—as Heaven proclaimed

I’m sorry to say
red cardinals don’t live
in the evergreen state
unless a migration
has lost its way.
My husband was not lost
when he came to Washington,
he never missed North Carolina,
except for those red birds~
Sadly, I’ve never seen one.
Love Living and Forgiving
Washington is where we love living;
Soon may be skiing by Thanksgiving;
Cascades snowing,
And we are going;
Found them friendly and forgiving.

Live here in North Carolina now
but our hearts are still in Seattle.
Both Orville and Wilbur Wright,
Two brothers who pioneered flight.
When at Kitty Hawk, in North Carolina,
They first flew their forerunner, of the modern airliner.

I’m not wishful anymore
or here to ride the wave
My feet both mired in aging mud,
my heart now turned away
I’m not here to save the world,
nobility be damned
Time on trial my last denial
—on distant Ronan land
(Henderson North Carolina: October, 2021)
The First Plane Flight
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
December 17, 1903
Oh see it fly!
Above this field, the pilot steers.
Oh see it fly
amid the clouds across the sky!
The people watch it as it veers
through winter air along with cheers!
Oh, see it fly!

Bring your lover into your world,
don’t hide inside of hers
‘A mistake too often made
with respect to women’
Self inflicted homicide…
men die of good intention
A modern age hormonal trap
—loves truth no longer free
(Greensboro North Carolina: April, 2019)
A hurricane tore North Carolina
After ripping Haiti!
It stalks like a hyena,
Leaving a trail of calamity!
I, The Earth, was turning in my sleep.
Humans live for seventy years.
Some build in areas that are deep
Or somehow interfere with my affairs.
May 8, 2022 the
Jill has been in the hospital for
seven days and I have not been
writing any poems on Poetry Soup.
Here is one I wrote while there with
my wife.
We would have started out to seek,
Things explained when did speak;
Could hear,
Far or near,
When the weather was very bleak.
Jim Horn
Form:
Two storied teams
Creme-de-la-creme
Yet one has to lose
To sing the blues
Tear-stained its dreams

Strawberries From Fairies
In purse know that she always carries,
Some whipped cream with strawberries,
She would make,
Tasty short cake;
She received them from friendly fairies.
The strawberries are flowing here
in Southern Part of North Carolina
and were grown for me by Dinah.
Jim Horn
A distinguished soprano named Dinah
sings arias in North Carolina.
But her favourite thing,
without doubt, is to sing
selections from Handel's Messiah.
With extraordinary vigor and pith
she sings "I Know My Redeemer Liveth".
When she goes to perform
she'll be in fine form
and precisely know how to giveth.
He found what he was looking for,
his shadow turned inside out
He moved beyond prescriptive cure,
all questioning and doubt
He left the future-past behind,
silhouette of all he’d missed
Impregnating the moment within himself
—to light the dark abyss
(Winston Salem, North Carolina: October, 2017)
