They Ain't All Pretty, But Some Of Them Rhyme

Enter the world of Wayne DePriest’s poetry where, as the title says, “They Ain’t All Pretty, But Some Of Them Rhyme.” Compiled here are upwards of a hundred poems of wit and whimsy and not a bit of angst-filled longing or despair or self-analysis in the bunch. Animals, grandchildren, lawn chairs, and buildings are the subject matter. Body parts and grammar and classic movies provide fodder for the author’s imagination. One might even discover a “message” lurking in the lines, though one might suspect it wasn’t intentional.
