(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

Timothy Hicks June 9, 2016 at 12:40 AM 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 :)
