5 Words To Dwell Upon- 5 Words Contest

(5 Words to Dwell Upon) Though once I was homeless, Twas my diagnosis, That I might once again rise form the ashes like the phoenix. Though did I rise again, Twas more like a butterfly, Lifting itself from a dandelion after a long respite. ~RC (Diagnosis, Homeless, Phoenix, Butterfly, Respite) Dear Dr Diagnosis Homeless on Mulberry Street No Respite for Plato I THE PHOENIX Oh dear my, Butterfly

Your creative use of these 5 off-the-wall words was fantastic and cleverly done. Your execution of the proverb-like metaphors was also done very smoothly and naturally. Awesome brevity. Check out my blog, if you ever get the chance, and tell me about your poem :)
