James Horn Poet Couplet

Making Oklahoma

Making Oklahoma

Rather than a lot later wish it was sooner
When we both would become a honeymooner
And off to Oklahoma one day we did go
Where living is easy and things seem so slow.

Wide open spaces are here, there and around
To outstanding Oklahoma we will be bound
All of your imagination there it can catch
And once it does even more may stretch.

Plains are found flat and cattle close by
Will live and love it here until day we die
Gave our thanks to God for all of His grace
And for making Oklahoma a perfect place.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Thvia Shetley April 19, 2015 at 9:14 PM Hey, I'm in Oklahoma too! James Horn April 20, 2015 at 5:12 AM Buttttt. You have one negative thing hanging over your head, OKLAHOMA BOMBING. Someone has to remove that from Oklahoma history. It is the first thing you think of when Oklahoma is mentioned. Horrors. Jim Horn

The Grahamburglar April 18, 2015 at 7:59 PM I came to Oklahoma by accident the first time around. I'm here on purpose this time and love being back. You need to keep stuff like this on the down low, I insist that Oklahoma is one of the best kept secrets in our country. Thanks for the write, and happy trials Mr. Horn. The Grahamburglar April 18, 2015 at 10:23 PM It showed up on the New Poems list. I saw Oklahoma, so I read it. Haha. James Horn April 18, 2015 at 9:50 PM Jill and I originally were from Wichita, Kansas where I was stationed in the Air Force, we were married there, I graduated from Wichita State and Jill graduated from Wesley School of nursing back in the early 60's. Buttttt, you sure have a lot of tornadoes around there. How did you happen to find my poem anyway? Do a search for Oklahoma and see what you come up with. Jim Horn
