{"product_id":"9781462805341","title":"A Variety Of Verse: The Rambling of a Frustrated Poet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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. \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003ccenter\u003eTHE WILD WIND PLACE\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003eThere is a wild wind place\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003enear Langtry\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ewhere the wind blows up\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ea canyon and spirals\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ethe loose soft dirt there\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eDust Devils live in that place\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ealmost all year ‘round\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eAt night,\u003c\/center\u003e   \u003ccenter\u003eyou can hear them calling\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eto one another,\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003emaking plans to spin the ground\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eon the morrow.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eI can’t understand\u003c\/center\u003e   \u003ccenter\u003ewhat they say, but\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ean old Indian friend of mine does,\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ebut he won’t tell me.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eHe says I have to find out for myself.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eHe says, “Listen real close\u003c\/center\u003e   \u003ccenter\u003eto the sound those \u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003edust devils make.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eYou can’t mistake their clear \u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003epronunciation of words.”\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eHe tells me that it is\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ea language found in nature.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003e“So, it’s part of us too.”\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eThe wild wind place is where\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ethe dust devils live \u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003ewild and free.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eOne of the last things that’s that way.\u003c\/center\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003eI hope nobody tries to tame them. \u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179430592752,"sku":"9781462805341","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462805341_p0.jpg?v=1763677804","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462805341","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
