Metamorphine and Other Poems
()
About this ebook
This is a selection of 22 poems written over a span of some years. They are widely diverse in subject matter and in style. For instance the poems cover some of the following themes:
The dreams of a cat; The passing of dragons; An extraordinarily beautiful and empathic young girl; An insane genius and my own tribute to Tolkiens' Lady Galadriel, from 'The Lord of the Rings', to cite but a few.
I have provided a very brief explanatory note to many of the poems, where I feel that this may be helpful to the reader.
This is a varied collection and should be of interest to lovers of poetry.

Brief Technical Note
May I suggest that, should your eyesight allow it, you select an e-reader font size that is small enough to allow lines of poetry to sit properly on the page. If the font size is too large then verse lines will double up and become messy.
The Dove
A white carpet lay across my land
And silence reigned.
A white dove flew straight past and
Its dark eyes looked peacefully
Into mine.
I heard the hateful sound of a gun.
It blasted without pity,
And the white dove lay quite still in the snow,
A small pocket of warmth in the winter coldness.
Dark red blood seeped from its breast
And shone like a beacon in the
