For Suzette Richard's "Phoenix Sixain" Contest. Inspired by my poem “The Black Sunflower” 3/5/2026
Gaze upon the glorious decay. Gaze upon the glow of pitch blackness. Cut through the flames, Sword of Hades. Grow tall and strong my flower, O’ Blackened Sunflower. Decay of flames, my Sunflower. Inspired by my poem “The Black Sunflower” 3/5/2026
