"Still the phoenix sits upon / The world in fearsome form, / With a crown upon her head / And the beauty of a storm." Newfound World, c. 1699: A phoenix nests on the roof of a house in a small colonial town, sending ripples throughout the community. Why is the phoenix here? Is she friend or foe? Heaven-sent or hell-bent? The town will grapple with the bird's presence in heated clashes of suppositions, superstitions and science. _____ HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Allegorical (July 2020) #1 in Cautionary / CautionaryTale (June 2020) #1 in Didactic (June 2020) #1 in FantasyPoetry (August 2020) #1 in Iambic (April 2022) #2 in NarrativePoem (June 2020) #2 in Postcolonial (August 2024) _____ AWARDS: 🥇 1st place in Poetry | Autumn Awards (2020) | @GinaCharlotte 🥇 1st place in Poetry | The Talent Awards (2020) | @TheTalentAwards 🥉 3rd place in Poetry | Star Gazing Awards (2020) | @StarGazingAwards 🥉 3rd place in Poetry | The Sunshine Awards (2020) | @SunshineAwards2020
