gun salute~
                                           in every fold of the flag
                                                   his sacrifices

Near Saint Avold, France,
More than ten thousand heroes
Whisper from the soil.

reflections of life
                                 sanctified with God's glory
                                     the price of freedom

standing tall
so proud
twenty-one gun salute

Sun and sand and beach
Life has some lessons for me
Be all  you can be!

Sad conversations
May healing come to you soon
And children be safe!

For all you have done
And wherever you may be
May you rest in peace!

brave fallen soldiers   
sacrificing young men's blood
red poppies wither

along the pathway
thousands of soldier ants match--
hot sunny day.

                                            Erect like a straight soldier
                                                 Red feminine bloom

The tall veteran
wears a camouflage faded cap 
and dark shades to hide
his smooth, scarred face: doesn't he wish
that somebody shook his hand...
ah, unpraised soldier!

One legged swaying
Stiff breeze chills
Soldier crabs scurry

Armor of feathers,
Takes flight to protect the grove:
Soldier of the night.

my soldier son
                                                  deployed this morning --
                                                   will this war ever end?

For Richard Lemoureux's
Questionqu contest

Tall strong green pine tree's
stand soldierly against winds
teeter in the breeze

Full moon
Brightly illuminates the forest 
As a soldier leaps

ottoman empire
soldier fight your fighting style
with knife,with flintlock

best friend to lonely
a letter to a soldier
cures all thier sorrows

unknown soldier  
                                                       fallen unsung hero  
                                                         without a name










Tribute To Our 
Armed Forces


Thanks For Serving

though clouds cast a pall

     soldier vows eternal love

          'til they meet again

The Purple Iris
Stands as straight as a soldier
But lovely as lace

A lonely soldier,
A bloody red battlefield,
The misting rain falls.

A Mere Diatribe

A mere diatribe,
Which is full of silly words;
Where should I start next?

James Thomas Horn
Retired Soldier and Poet

often reminded
reflection from stare appear
scars of fear remain

A soldier just braves 
enemy fire to rescue 
his wounded comrade.

Weigh your liberty,
Wear the heart of a warrior,
Pleasure your birthday.

old soldier
remembers fallen
veterans day

Red caps, red jackets,
walkers, wheelchairs on parade.
Vets board Honor Flight.

Faithful Five to Survive

When I stand my post
What will bother me the most
Downhill people coast.

Up myself will pick
Back to my post moved quick
Faithful surely stick.

My post proved to me
Soldier I was meant to be
Sure you will agree.

James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

my first haiku attempt

after killing
an enemy, how lonely i feel
in the battlefield here!

- wanna write more

field of red poppies
shrine-like aura of petals
salute the fallen

Old Soldier's Disease:
Civil War soldiers would march
Pick and eat cherries

No toilet for them
No toilet paper either
Just woods, trees and leaves

The result's the same
Out fast and loose in the end!
Cherries are the pits!

Strongholds are soldiers,
 stoically don't  burst in tears...
 pour blood through the eyes

angry clouds crying
over freshly-prepared grave
soldier is home now

You must stand firm
Not entangled to this life
Strong in all form.
