John McCornack Poems

Slowly the great wheel of life continues to turn
Oklahoma became home for the McCornacks
Grandpa came in a covered wagon from Kansas
Grandma came on a train from North Carolina
...

It was a very cold winter morning when Bradley Hall caught on fire
the radio waves were all a buzz with what was happening in our town
I was attending Bradley at the time … so I grab my coat and shoes
and my camera to watch the magnificent building almost burn down
...

The Governor’s Mansion at Christmas Time
Is filled with joy, flowers, and Peace on Earth
The Red Poinsettias glow with a special pride
And the Christmas tree gives us all a rebirth
...

Once upon a time in a far away land a few years past
When all the Scottish Churches were expected to last
Where God and all His people were expected to prevail
With a common purpose in life they all expected to sail
...

Genuine love arrives in so many subtle configurations
To some it maybe the simple bonding with a new born
To some it is those hours spend fishing in a farm pond
Still others just the simple dreaming about an unicorn
...

Spring is back, let the fun begin
Time to look for special sunsets
Time to scratch the belly of a pig
For it is about as good as it gets
...

My home town located on Route 66
A great place to live... close to OKC
A place not to far from the country
Must take Garth Brooks back home
...

One of the many joys of living in Oklahoma
Is the celebration of Christmas on Red Dirt
For it is a part of our great family tradition
Sharing ice tea, blackeyed peas and dessert
...

There is much to learn from a Red Dirt sunset
They are many visual rewards for one and all
When you walk a lake side with many flowers
Peace surrounds you as you become more tall
...

My mom taught me

China Berry Trees
Don't be ignoring the leaves.
