What beautiful imagery you've created, Gary, in this free verse poem! I am particularly moved by the last two lines:

What of this journey, cast in the pits of anguish,
Can we rise as the phoenix?

Well done. Thank you for sharing. Alana

Awesome Imagery! You are surely talented. I really liked the first and last line because it keeps your attention the whole time. Keep up the work because you are an amazing writer.

Beautiful artwork that complements your poem extremely well.
Quite a bit of rhyme in it and a good flow. You talk about many I think that are not right and will soon die.

Can any of us understand the meaning of life? So vividly portrayed with strong words and vivid imagination in this, somehow unsettling piece of work. Of which I have enjoyed immensely.

This is such a powerful piece. You really didn't need the picture to portray the power of your words, but the picture you chose was absolutely perfect. Illusion crust, I love that, then ending it with a question was a nice touch.

Well written. Full of emotion and hope. I like all the use of all the 'ity' words.

This fairy has the ability to rise like a phoenix more than the rest of us because she has wings. We do seem to forgive easier at the end of life than during life when it is most needed and helpful.

Will her black wings and dark dress turn white after her grieving is over. I have always thought all fairies should have white wings.

Keep writing

Joan

beautifully written with some beautiful phrases impressive metaphors. Forgive me if I offend you with this next comment but with the greatest respect for you as an amazing wordsmith but I found this piece very labour intensive a collection of beautiful collective phrases that could stand proud as individual lines in their own right.
hey its just my opinion as my style is of simple 4 line rhyme with no flowery descriptive terms but I so love to read wordsmiths with the calibre of your work but find them mind intensive to decipher until several reads.
