A VARIETY OF VERSE is exactly that, for it is a collection of a variety of poetic forms and formulas such as pantoums, free verse and rhyming quatrains that address a variety of topics such as personal thoughts, fears, memories, the loss and pain that the author has experienced and has witnessed in others. Some of the poems address contemporary issues such as the unconditional compliance to dogmas to the loss of love and the loss of loved ones. Some pieces are humorous and silly while others are contemplative and questioning.

THE WILD WIND PLACE

There is a wild wind place near Langtry where the wind blows up a canyon and spirals the loose soft dirt there Dust Devils live in that place almost all year round At night, you can hear them calling to one another, making plans to spin the ground on the morrow. I cant understand what they say, but an old Indian friend of mine does, but he wont tell me. He says I have to find out for myself. He says, Listen real close to the sound those dust devils make. You cant mistake their clear pronunciation of words. He tells me that it is a language found in nature. So, its part of us too. The wild wind place is where the dust devils live wild and free. One of the last things thats that way. I hope nobody tries to tame them.
