Fire leads to rebirth into a purer form that's free of all the encumbering sins that easily beset us. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing! Have a great day, and God bless.

    Thank you very much for reading. I apologize for not responding sooner. I could post, but not reply to reviews while I was in the hospital. Turns out there are downsides to only having a phone.

What a powerful poem! The way you share the idea of letting the flames consume everything impure to emerge reborn is kinda scary - hahah - but also hopeful. Your closing lines are so well done. I thought your poem was both intense and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem.

This poem is so good, and I especially like how it starts. "My body burns with Phoenix fire." This one would be amazing read out loud. Thanks for sharing! Hope you feel better soon!

A wonderfully composed free verse that 'shouts' to the reader of inner turmoil and suffering... yet the perseverance is what remains at the end... great job! ;)
