Premium MemberAutumn's Breath

Summer breaks, it goes to bed,
The sunburnt country is no longer red.

Autumn’s breath begins to creep
Across the plains and gullies deep.

It plays an eerie, thoughtful tune,
Beneath a warm and amber moon,

Whispering amongst the majestic gums
To warn the scrub the season comes.

While the changing leaves don't hit the eye:
Bursting gold appears beneath the southern sky,

Bright wattles along the dirt track
To push the longer shadows back.

A flock of cockatoos takes flight,
Screaming at the angled light.

For me, this wind is pure relief...
I find no need for any grief.

Premium MemberIf I had a Guitar and a ukelele

If I had a guitar and a ukelele
I would be singing songs from eight to three
perfect runs would cascade out into the atmosphere
every one of my notes would be crisp and crystal clear

If I had a tambourine, I would jingle jangle that too
too bad my musical talents would fit in a drop of dew
I cannot even clap on rhythm, but neither can Willie
And he’s made a fortune being country and silly

Premium MemberCosmic Country UFO Artist

I'm a Cosmic Country, thriving artist,
Makin' bright UFOs to fly Skyward.
Going on spaceflights attracts my mindset,
Feeling sparkling gold Cubist squares inward.

Universal expanse evokes dreamscapes
On Route 66, I can fly upward.
This Cosmic Cowboy has inner mindscapes.
Stars sing a song to calm this twilight nerd.

Texas is so sweet, but Starlight listens.
I'm dreamin' of robots and galaxies.
Cosmic tea with Northern Lights that glisten,
Where Universe shares the keys to be free!

Let's take a trip to other galaxies,
Where extraterrestrials fly in peace!

Premium MemberSquare Dance

Strawberry blond curls bouncing as she dances
Quickly stealing hearts country music romances
Universal love for music maroon mood enhances 
A little tip of his hat he winks a tall strapping lad
Red flannel shirt blue jeans work charming fad
Emerald eyes full of delight the barn is a glow

Denim jackets boots matching as we Do-Si-do
Amber moon hangs this June like pearl earring 
New music swells cowboy yells playing tambourine 
Come one come all let’s dance till fall a happy hour 
Energetic night a bluegrass night blooms like flower

Premium MemberStrumming Moonlit Lyrics

a country boy
strumming his guitar
unapologetically
stole my heart

Premium MemberLIFE IS A SONG

Life is a song, my phone blasting the beat
With rock, travel quickly; with country,  feel sweet.
And Classical makes aristocracy an attainable treat!

But I like the words, so powerful, true
Whether making me happy or making me blue
The poetry of song reaches the all, not the few.

So turn on the radio and soak in the vibe
Something for every person, family, or tribe.  
Life is a song — sit back and imbibe!

Premium MemberThinking About Legend

Truly a masterpiece of 'less is more',
a distinct album cover one should explore.

Little more than a handful of lines
of a galloping horse - minimal design.

A form so neat, so deft, so clean,
cutting a fine figure, suggesting a shape unseen.

It later became the de facto logo
of the American country-rock band Poco.

The red eye - a solitary splash of color,
small yet distinct on the mostly white cover.

Ten letters on the front - not exactly wordy;
beautiful cover - just don't get it dirty.

The image projects tremendous energy,
but the mostly mellow music brings back pleasant memory.

Premium MemberElvis

Forever Elvis
The guy with the pelvis
lives on, and on, and on, and on.
in the hearts of his fans he’ll never be gone


He was a guy who knew how to sing
Gyrating his hips was his special thing
When performing on stage
The crowd would rampage
It’s no wonder they call him “the king “


From gospel tunes to rock and roll
Folk and Country, blues and soul
Near fifty years since he’s been gone
But his memory and music still live on

Premium MemberSky of Fireflies


Twilight Tranquil country summer. Smell the sun baked soil and thirsty blades of grass eager for the dew. Easy. Simple. Unhurried. Slowly swaying to nature's musical Crickets fiddle, marsh Frogs hum bass drum and Cello trill vibrations Under bare, dirty feet. Cattail castanets tapping to the beat. A thrill for all the senses as the light show begins… Each flash keeps tempo, twinkling in delightful dance! Unveiling moments of simple summertime magic. These nights, every blessed childhood lullaby, sweetly remembered.

Premium MemberOde to John Denver

Mere words cannot express
The depths of my respect
And how I mourn the fact that he's not here.
His open, honest smile,
His friendly country style,
Of course his voice and music keep him near.

As kids, on Thursday nights,
My dad turned down the lights
And by a roaring fire we'd sing his songs.
I've such dear memories...
We'd sing to his LP's
Until, at last, our bedtimes came along.

Oh, how those songs inspired
And lifted my heart higher
Each time my mundane life would drag me down.
And truly I believe
It cannot be just me
Who wishes that he could still be around.

So, here's to Brother John!
He's never really gone
As long as somewhere someone shares his songs!
He was one of the best
So may his soul be blessed!
His many fans will keep his mem'ry strong.
