Views from the Saddle: Weather, Leather and Nature

By Ray A. Twist

The Little Okie

Buffalo fish and blue mud cats
Hooting Owls and zooming bats
Scaly crawlers on back water lakes
Turtles and eels, and big ugly snakes
Many strange critters leave tracks in the mud
Swarms of mosquitoes looking for blood
A freckle faced kid with a cane fishing pole
Wades through it all to his favorite fishing hole

Ray A. Twist

Ray A. Twist left poems on the table for his grandchildren to read before he left each morning to work his cattle, on his lease. The poems in his book reveal life in Texas. The poetry of Ray A. Twist also paints us a picture of his cowboy life in Texas for forty years.
