JOHNNY COBB Poems

We left Glasgow Scotland early this morn
Viewed flower filled meadows on our train ride.
We'll settle into our bed-and-breakfast
Then go strolling the English counrtyside.
...

My lovely Costa Rica,
I'd fly 1000 miles
To visit with the Ticos
And see their pretty smiles.
...

Took a long, lovely walk by the ocean,
No need to apply our suntan lotion.
For the hour was late
But the scenery's great.
...

Get out of the house for a picnic
Let's find somewhere fun to eat.
Tail-gating out of the old red Jeep
Is a special family treat.
...

The remote Canadian wilderness
Majestic forests of fir, spruce and pine.
The abundance of animal wildlife
Longhorn sheep, grizzlies, moose and porcupines.
...

The youngest marching drill team in town
practiced hard so they won't call us prancers.
Who were these Confederate-clad school boys?
Montgomery's pride: the Rebel Lancers!
...

Through the gates of the 'Wildlife Gardens'
Twenty peacocks will greet your arrival.
If looking for natural solitude
The peace and quiet here has few rivals.
...

The western world is free today
But this freedom came with a cost.
As the ultimate sacrifice
Millions of our 'bravest' were lost.
...

Fifty years have come and gone
Since we founded Perry Hill.
Seeing friends from long ago
Was such a homecoming thrill.
...

When shadows fall, as they always will,
I sit in my room, alone and still.
Memories come back to me, pieces of the past.
God, why did the years go by so fast?
...

Day after day televisions played
videos of Elizabeth Smart.
This 14 year old angel from Utah
soon captured Americas' heart.
...

The snow has melted.
Green dots the meadow.
Late afternoon walks
Capture me and my shadow.
...

The soft, silent snow of Yellowstone Park
Gives you a feeling that all is well.
Along with many spectacular views
I will also remember the smells.
...

We're enchanted by a full moon in June
Bathed in a brilliant orange and golden glow.
It mesmerized my family last night
On Alabama's Gulf of Mexico.
...

A cherished childhood memory
For my daughter and five preteenies
Is a roaring backyard bonfire
With lots of marshmallows & weenies.
...

A special summer memory
on a moonless July night,
sitting in our rocking chairs
we watch the fireflies in flight.
...

When life is as fast-paced as a swim meet
And you just want to take things real slow
Go listen to the waves at sunset
At Alabama's Gulf of Mexico.
...

Brother Jessie was nearly ninety
I knew he soon would die.
I visited him at the nursing home
So I could say goodbye.
...

'It's a great day to be a bookman,
It's the best thing that I know...'
Sang the Bookman song a million times
Beginning in Lima, Ohio.
...

The frosty days of winter have vanished
While squirrels come down to nibble cobs of corn.
Tiny white flowers cover our pear trees
And robins are busy this April morn.
...

The Best Poem Of JOHNNY COBB

Strolling The English Countryside

We left Glasgow Scotland early this morn
Viewed flower filled meadows on our train ride.
We'll settle into our bed-and-breakfast
Then go strolling the English counrtyside.

We're reserved for two nights in Whitehaven.
Glenlea Guesthouse borders the Lake District.
Can't wait to go hiking by creeks and farms
Such a panoramic place we have picked.

We pass green pastures of cattle and sheep.
Loved quiet moments just viewing the hills.
Sunshine sparkles on the Firth of Solway
As we take in the scent of daffodils.

One hundred forty miles across England
You can hike, bike or walk from C 2 C.
Whitehaven was once home to John Paul Jones.
See the Irish Sea from our B and B.

A full moon grabbed our attention at ten
As it hung low in the sky o'er the firth.
The Roman Empire advanced to these shores...
Just the prettiest place on God's blue Earth.

Great poem. I was a member of the Rebel Lancers and was looking for any pictures or history during this time. We went to Washington D.C. for J.F.K's Inauguration. If you or anyone has information I would like to get a copy. Thanks.
