An Ancient Child Singing: A Celebration Of Verse

AN ANCIENT CHILD SINGING is a lyrical, introspective poetry collection that combines traditional and contemporary themes of love, nature, introspection, and the human experience. For the first time, award-winning novelist Dwight David Morgan shares 200 of his original poems crafted over five decades, exploring love, loss and the wonder of being. He delivers creativity, insight and emotion, as displayed in the opening poem:

If...

If blue were red and red were blue

The sky would cast a crimson hue

And gardeners who raise roses red

Would opt for violets instead.

If light were dark and dark were light

We’d spend our waking hours at night,

The clouds would be as black as snow

And shadows would emit a glow.

If death were life and life were death

At birth we’d take our final breath,

Old age would be a fetal state

And wakes a cause to celebrate.

If men were boys and boys were men

I’d get to live my life again.

And rest assured if such could be

You’d share my youth again with me.
