The Phoenix Rises


The Phoenix rises

The Phoenix rises

From its ashes…

You shall live far longer
than so many.

The world needs you

Much more

Than many

 

But we all hope pray

And

Wish you longer life

And

Better days to come

As there’s only one life to go by…

Hope your pen reaches

The vaster audience

Of this mundane

And

Lonelier world

To help them unearth gold

Studded with diamonds…

In your words
Strung with intellectual pearls

See you have finally

Taught me

How to convey

Metaphorically…

Dear Loved

Your wee write reads as it indicates, as just a statement to question. I feel this is not a poem, sorry, but I have read your others and found them to be written from your heart. Looking forward to reading more soon. Lyz. XX

Dear Loved

Very nice. Your poem has slightly lifted me from my doldrums. My favorite lines are: Wish you longer life And Better days to come As there’s only one life to go by… Hope your pen reaches The vaster audience Of this mundane And Lonelier world Always, Cat

If my words Can raise your level, I’m quite sure Twill is an eye-opener for others. You are a greater person As I can see You always praise When one deserves it We have lots of jealousy to face In our short lives What say of husbands? What of wives. It’s only after all That hopes In the form of love That alone does survive. LOVED BY ONE AND ALL

Of those I've seen ...

of yours so far, this piece stands as my favorite. And ducks're some of my favorite people; besides Buster, my wonderful pet white duck (who's, incidentally, one great conversationalist), I have special regard for the mallards that fly overhead so often, teasing Buster with their sudden appearance and (just-as-sudden) disappearance. As to To help them unearth gold Studied with diamonds… do you mean to say To help them unearth gold Studded with diamonds... I've tried to make sense of it with "studied" as your intention. Having a little trouble. Can you enlighten? Thanx, Chuck

I visualise some day there will be a gold mine and diamond one integrated. when i went down 3000 metres into a vertical gold mine once i had a feeling what if this gold mine with sparsely laid gold had some diamonds jutting out so i mixed t all up confused as I am thanks...

Dear Love I had to reread.

Now this is beautiful and yes, full of praise from the heart. Wonderful. Where you have written studied diamonds should it be studded. The spell check lady is here, lol. No, this is high on the scale as your others. Well written. Love Lyz. XX
