this...this, is fantastic.

yet another piece of proof regarding your exellence for poetry.

why is it you haven't gotten published yet??

I really loved this.
It sort of reminds me of a Pheonix, because of the verse about ashes and the last line 'she burned and started again'.

This was very powerful. My favorite line was:
"and the angel it told her,
to watch for thorns because they would hurt,
but all the venom from the stings had made her numb"

Very good job
