The Phoenix Poem by Heather Burns
The Phoenix
A mythical bird
spirit of fire
filled with
intense desire
Life cycle a
thousand years
drenched in a
thousand tears
Tail of scarlet
and golden hue
experiencing
life like
very few
A nest of twigs
and then
arise from the
flames
and live again
Near the end
it will ignite
reduce to ashes
on a star-studded
night
Another egg forms
and begins
the mythical Phoenix
lives again.
A beautiful poem. 'Life cycle a thousand years drenched in a thousand tears' Nice!
A nice poem of this mythical bird. The Phoenix is depicted and portrayed in many a book. Its legendary life is recycled many times. Lovely.
Yes we can reclaim the Life again and we can go ahead with gain / bright

The archetypes of mythology are invariably useful analogies for poem-making.
