The Phoenix Rises

From the crackling through the flame, lifts the firebird with no name; shrieks and whistles, caws and echoes, shadows, embers, dance untamed. Flight starts bulky, wings unfurl, fiery feathers flex and curl; dark smoke billows, volume high, then finally phoenix finds the sky.

    A fine poem, Tom. Words that capture the flight of the Phoenix. The artwork, too… I can see her rising!
