Enticingly juicy
Melting on the burning
Lips of passion
Stretching tongues to lick
But soured drops long left over
Icings of deadly venoms
Ooh greedy zealots
Gulping to stupor
Concoctions for all such gluttons
These words I write may not be worth much to you
perhaps a glass of prosecco or cheap chardonnay
bottom shelf bourbon and soda, tonic and Tanqueray
You have no concept of what they cost me
the price that I must pay
Another Gin and Tonic Horn Limerick
Must I drink another gin and tonic
To tolerate Trump who is moronic
Jumping from hole to hole like a rabbit
Constantly complaining when cannot have it
Grows on you like a plague that is bubonic.
Jim Horn
The breeze, dank with autumnal chill
Sighs through the lonesome woodland trail
Yet whispers of sweet promise
Waft gently through the bracing air

An excerpt from my poem 'Romantic encounters with nature'
Liberum Divisa 2 Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Gregory Barden
Someone is waiting, I hope not in vain
for you to greet them with words of acclaim.
They needn't be fancy or charming or grand,
just simple, honest, and easy to understand.
Identify something about them that radiates truth,
--dress, smile, posture, maybe their youth.
Cost to you, as you know, is not one thing,
and think of the joy to a life you will bring.
Eschew that which often makes us sardonic,
and know kindness to others is life's potent tonic.
