Phoenix Resiliency

Listen to poem:
Written: January 28, 2024 _____________________________________ Under a shivery midday embrace In a shade of algid sun's rays a hung flamboyant, peacock flower leaving the air agape with their genius hues bead petals shimmered as gemstones lead the way to nature's sublime dream a soft breeze blew across trees nurturing comfort of time beneath a sparkling, lovelorn sky With fortitude fetching flute tune echoes through the valley It signals cease of a journey Its courteous aromas fit lovers warmth rekindles dead twigs nature's oasis is vibrant and fragrant vibrancy, stimulation a gentle breeze carries an intoxicating scent of flowers enhancing sensory experience Flames fiercely flare flowers speckled sheen starkly studs rosemary-blue butterfly swirls in the air as the Phoenix's skyline dispels all gloom a powerful song fills the hallowed halls. dreams and wishes echo resoundingly. Phoenix's tale of renewal bravery and grace is a story of vying ashes deeming success with poise zest  It's time for fresh fieriness to flourish and nothing can stop it Winter doldrums are nearly over restore obliterating radiance bleak black charcoal awakening an upward world a kaleidoscope of colors and a loud choir utterly unique and dazzling light ornamentals adorned stars soaring high, aiming at the sky Phoenix flight reminiscence to achieve solace and delight we glimpse ourselves in it.

I am engrossed in this exhilarating epic from a multitude of perspectives. Your obvious giftedness in the area of visual portraits, the creation of plausible narratives, and of course the optimistic strain rounding off this stunning masterpiece. I’m quite touched by your favourable and very incisive review of “Magenta etc” Sotto. Your reflections are a spur to further endeavours. Howard

dearest Sotto-The myth of the Phoenix speaks to me--has since I was a teenager. I maintain its one of the most powerful myths and symbols--one we can all relate to. It speaks of fierceness necessary in renewal...your words magnificently capture the Phoenix. I liked these lines: Phoenix's skyline dispels all gloom a powerful song fills the hallowed halls. dreams and wishes echo resoundingly. Phoenix's tale of renewal bravery and grace is a story of vying. A delightful, invigorating read!!
