poetry writing challenge - day 20
write a poem about rebirth.
phoenix
i will fail here
and I will fail now
i cannot rise from the ash.
i have ash in my mouth.
ash dust in my bed.
i touch my face and paint
myself in ash.
there is no flame from which to rise.
tomorrow, maybe, the sun will set me afire
and ablaze
i will look down
trembling
transformed

Tomorrow is always and will be different.
sleepy time.
yeah.
i just wasn't feeling this one...
nor did i wake up a phoenix.
just buzzed from too many weird dreams.
and, unfortunately this poetry business is limiting your dream postings. Not that I'm complaining at all. Home stretch and this month only has 30 days total.
