By Latin poet Ovid around the
Start of AD, though one of my faves is
Influenced somewhat by it - Franz Kafka
And his Metamorphosis, with Gregor
Samsa turning into a big insect -
Crawling along his bedroom walls and floor
In the end he’s unable to protect
Himself as his own family now reject
Their own former breadwinner. The preface
To Ovid’s masterpiece just makes me more
Keen to begin to read and then reflect
How amazing it was and it still is
To read works so old, yet so full of power
