Best Country Music Poems

Chants echoing home bliss
Celestial songs of heart
Commending folks’ good times
Clear through guitar rhythm
Celebrating triumph
Clarion for me to hum:
“Cordillera*, you're God**-blest.” 

*My home region in our country
**Psalm 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

COUNTRY MUSIC

I was ravaged today
by

three consecutive country songs 
on the radio while driving
each moaning the lyrics  
". . daddy's pickup truck"
and "the Georgia mud"
while whining that
"she was leavin' me!".

God what woman
would not leave if that was
all she ever heard from him
or ANYONE ELSE!

I reckon...

Country Music is just good ole American soul
from the rhythm of the guitars
to the screaming strings of the fiddle and the beat of the drums
to the words that are written and sung 
by the men and women who have lived the life

singing about life, love,...

I Grew Up on Country Music
When Rock and Roll was king
My friends all liked the Beatles
But, that was not my thing
I liked to hear the fiddle
To hear the joy burst from the strings
I Grew Up on Country Music
When Rock and Roll was king

I remember me...

A country music fan is not
A title I would claim
And yet today I visited
Its well-known Hall of Fame.

For here I am in Nashville,
In the south and far from home,
But I believe in following
That adage, "When in Rome..."

Surprisingly, I much enjoyed
The various displays.
The folks that made...

I know that The violence and hate in this world is real and we shouldn't have to feel afraid when we go
to hear the stumming of a gutiar at a concert, or the southern twain of our favorit country music star, or jamming to it...

By the big red barn with the corn comin’ up,

It's rare that most would call me a hot head
I am usually the coolest cucumber instead
I have no tells, so their heads don't swell
and I don't get entangled to soon

But there is this tall lanky guy you see
who plays a mean bluegrass guitar so sweet!
and...

The city makes my heart beat change
To a speed I can't endure
I start to sweat and I can't breathe
To me there only is one cure

I have to leave the city life
Leave the commotion far behind
I've got to hit the country
For that is where I'll find

I...

Indestructible, for Johnny Cash
by Michael R. Burch

What is a mountain, but stone?
Or a spire, but a trinket of steel?
Johnny Cash is gone,
black from his hair to his bootheels.

Can a man out-endure mountains’ stone
if his songs lift us closer to heaven?
Can the steel in his voice...

Country music brings me

     Comfort when I'm weary
