Headstall's Reflections - 14. Chapter 14- Prompt 15- FV Phoenix Prompt 11- Haiku

I really enjoyed "Phoenix" I think my favourite line was: "There’s no place for old ashes on innocent plumage". To me that meant that you should let go of past regrets and mistakes (or even past people that can mar your new life)... start fresh with your new wings. I'm not sure if that's what you meant to convey, but that's how this spoke to me.

Thanks, Lit. That's exactly what I meant... followed by "to clear the air of misgivings" at verse end. You can't move forward when you're looking back... but it takes time to get there... thanks for the astute review... I'm glad you got something from this...cheers... Gary...

Oh Gary.. both of these made me sad ... I know you're strong and I don't know what drove you to write these. (There are more modern versions of Haiku and I think yours fits there perfectly.)
But the feelings here make these almost overwhelming. I wish you peace and hope that you find a place in your life that doesn't cause to keep having to renew.

Thanks, tim. I didn't mean to make you sad. Just think of these as poems about someone else. Thanks for the support, and caring... cheers... Gary xo
