John McCornack Poems

Give me the strength to travel one more mile
To out in the country where people still farm
To where there is still a sense of community
With wheat fields, horses, plus many a barn
...

I never had a horse at Cloud Chief
Even though horses were in season
My dad would say I ate like a horse
So to save food that was the reason
...

Rain..Rain..
Aren’t you coming back..
A rain already here.
Please don`t let me alone with a rain...
...

In the quiet country side out east of Cloud Chief
My family waited for my birth with anticipation
Dust was extra thick as we were in the dust bowl
But through it all I added one to the population
...

Everyone loves a two for one deal
Expecially a two horse layout view
For it has a beginning and the end
Where double pleasure becomes true
...

Join me in a cyber tour of the city of Paris
Where Napoleon used to rule and call home
That city filled with history and excitement
For on their streets Americans love to roam
...

Did you wonder how Venus could milk a cow
Since obviously, she does not have any arms
She could hold the bucket between her legs
But she would be useless around diary farms
...

Ice on that far distance horizon
Ice that paints the country side
ice that bathes the horse barns
Ice that serves as a winter guide
...

One of our nations best kept secrets
Is the advantage of an Okie lifestyle
A place where life can be rewarding
Where everyone has reason to smile
...

Down by the North Canadian south of Route 66
Sunset memories in my soul come flooding back
Glorious colors, from deep turquoise to hot pink
Fill the western sky while the wild ducks quack
...
