The Time Of Ravens And Other Metamorphic Tales

The Time of Ravens and Other Metamorphic Tales is a dramatic, timely and thematically diverse collection of poetically framed stories ranging from the almost familiar to the nearly unimaginable; from the warmest love of family to the coldest fears of mortality; from the futile stubbornness of humanity in the face of vital change to the desperate struggles of a single life in the path of mindless destruction; from the cheery song of a welcoming bluebird to the haunting cacophony of a vanquishing raven. The author's unique style which melds both contemporary and classical poetic forms, is forged in the collective spirit of a broad spectrum of great American and European poets and reflects his earnest concern and vast appreciation for all that challenges our constant attention as well as our transitive state of existence, both in the here and now, and rocketing into the celestial beyond. They turned a broad corner where the green grass lay chill as the sunlight descended and the damp air grew thin arrived at the moment of man's greatest sin here, time trickled down 'til that dark verdant hill -From"Bound Horses" How our carelessness, vanity, choler and spite had made this a world far from virtue and right. Not a place for our children to blossom and grow, nor a world to be proud of, so bitter and low. So I started to wonder, what would Dr. Seuss say, having just now returned to a world lost its way? -From "Of Forsaking Dr. Suess" It was his love and honest zeal to handle hard, an open wheel the Sprint Car Racer, banked oval track tremendous speed, no looking back his sacred creed: to beat the pack. -From "The Sprint Car Racer" someday i'll be hiking through the craters of the southern highlands feeling something abstruse, primal thoughts in my pallid mind of matter how loud jupiter in the faraway sky spins into something pure white that knowing dog who means me well, howling to bare some awful truth -From "Deep Virtual Ink"
