JOHNNY COBB Poems

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

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.
...

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.
...

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

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.
...

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?
...

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!
...

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

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 adults think I chaperone
but like the kids, I want to play.
Check the calendar carefully.
I'm off for field trip day!
