her snapping jaw leaves
make her a spider killer
carnivorous plant

a fly catcher too
found in south Carolina
the venus fly trap...

Winter Wonderland

Winter wonderland, white
icing on brown cake, mister
nor’easter’s icy breath, snow-
tires spin helplessly, caught in
eider down drifts, I would
rather be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!

Palm trees fingers stretch in the sweltering breeze,
bending over graciously,
It shelters Mr. Bluejays retreat,
Above, clouding blue skies prepare to shower,
No movement in this afternoon sauna,
Life must wait for  South Carolina sun to settle....

Potatoes, corn, onions, sausage, shrimp, and crabs
Boiled together to perfection
Old newspapers laid on the table
All ingredients dumped together
Careful, it's hot
YUM!!

Went To Meander

Marjory Wentworth went to meander;
Took a gander and had to hand her
My poems that with me I did tote
Then she grabbed me by my throat;
No more of my poems can she endure.

James Horn

Marjory Wentworth is Poet Laureate
of South Carolina where poems are
always finer so she said....

These strong old South Carolina trees
have now become my canopies.
God bless these South Carolina trees
that swung black bodies in the breeze.
 
They sway for peace and harmonies
from the ancient southern wrong in these,
that brings their grandness to bowed knees asking in prayer, 
“Forgive us please.”...

In South Carolina, walking to his car outside of
Brew's Bar peacefully,
twenty year old Sean William Kennedy,
was punched in the face and died that day,
simply because he was gay.

Us members of such a cruel human race,
shouldn't take other's humanity-
The LGBTQ community has a right 
to shared space. ~...

Old uncle Tee Rex was a bore .

 He could burp a huge belch and then snore .

 When he dumped his wife , Dyna

 From South Carolina

 It sure made my aunt Dyna sore .

Past Permanent and Present Subject to Change

past is permanent
while future will soon be here
now live in present

Present is only tense
which we can live in.

Jim Horn

This is my 8,000th poem.
I have dedicated it to 
Marjory Wentworth,
Poet Laureate of
South Carolina.
Probably should have
had her edit my poem....

Some birdies really...

Can be so unkind

All day pecking 

Only gripes and whines

It's not hot enough 

So she ups and flies

Down to Miami beach via South Carolina skies

She probably thinks... Oh Lord 

I’m a Dodo bird 

Maybe it's a secret lover, tell me, have you heard

Whoever it is...don't say 

I don't bother mind 

Blue Jay’s staying over and it’s tweeting time...

Snow flurries will be here Friday.
Forty-seven degree high today.
Midwest United States – Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
No biggie. We have all seen worse.

Snow blizzard on Saturday,
Coming in from the East.
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia are shaking.
No snow shovels, or plows or drains in those states.

Florida is hiding their alligators, so they will not freeze.
Different states in different states....

Another mass shooting has occurred in America.
This time, it happened in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
A doctor, his wife, two grandchildren, and another were killed by a gun.
A former NFL player was deemed the culpable one.
That player was found dead from a shot self-inflicted.
This was a tragic event nobody could have predicted.
How many more unfortunate victims have to die?
It leaves many shaking their heads and asking why.
