A/N: This is not one long author's note although it may seem like it, so please don't report me for chapter abuse. This is exactly what the chapter title labels it as, an introduction.


I am fascinated with the mind of Voldemort. What does he think? Does he feel? Does he know guilt or self-loathing?

One day I just started thinking about those questions. From those thoughts came these poems. Sometimes the poems show the world through Voldemort's eyes, sometimes through another's. Initially I intended to post each poem separately, but I decided they were all too short for that. So here they are in one story collection.

The poems reflect a variety of styles from free-verse to the more traditional rhyming format. Although each poem is unique, there are certain elements that you will see repeated. For instance, there tends to be a syllable pattern and the use of repetition is common. They are also all written in iambic pentameter. These are just some of my trademarks if you will.

Just a few warnings: First, I have very poor rhyming skills. Please do not tease me too much about it, believe me when I say I get enough of it from my sister. Second, I will mark this collection complete, but I will probably add more poems as they come to me. This also of course depends on what kind of response I get from my original posting.

Finally I would just like to post this one disclaimer. Please note that it applies to all of the poems contained in "Foe Glass". None of the characters or situations are my property, they are in fact the property of one J.K. Rowling. Everything else, however, is mine.
