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
...

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
...

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
...

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
...

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

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
...

Spring is everywhere,
On the ground and in the air.
We can find spring in water,
And feel it in an old barn!
...

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
...
