The Corn is Just Corn | A Poem

this corn is just corn
This corn is just corn
and the words are just words
sitting on a page like a barn in a field
and behind the barn, a boy
among the chickens
with a stick for gathering the cows
on a path worn by cows walking in a line.
Heaa up there
He waves the stick.
The sun shines among shadows.
The wind blows.
The birds don’t rustle
because they’ve seen this painting.
The corn is just corn
and the words are just words
sitting on a page like the plow
being pulled pulled by the mule.
Gee
Haw
Whoa
Come up there.

For My Country Heart

“Absolutely amazing. Feels a bit old school and it has this hint of sadness to it that uplifts a country track. Enjoyed it throughout the whole duration and i absolutely love your voice as well—RevolutionizeMusic—- Country Music All Time Country Hits Spotify Playlist on For My Country Heart.

“Hello David Michael Jackson, I really liked the old school acoustic song, i liked the instrumental that reminds me a lot of past decades. The guitar timbres are really good and highlight for the great riffs. The chorus is great, the vocals are very good and I liked the great timbre, congratulations”…Marcio Senna, Country Hits Playlist

Writer and singer of love songs as Jake And Haystack or David Michael Jackson.

It’s the same barstool
where I talked to you
and I held your hand in mine.
It’s the same dance floor
where we danced all night
and I kissed your lips for the first time.

That old jukebox plays
that sad old song for me.
My country heart knows the melody.
Take these quarters here,
put’em in the slot
and play that country song
for my country heart.
Play that country song
for my country heart.

It’s the same country tune
that makes me think of you
when I looked into your eyes for the last time.
It’s the same bar keep
who laughed with us ’til dawn.
I said fill up my glass.
She’s gone.

That old jukebox plays
that sad old song for me.
My country heart knows the melody.
Take these quarters here,
put’em in the slot
and play that country song
for my country heart.
Play that country song
for my country heart.
