Phoenix, will you teach me?
Before the ashes bury me.
The stumbling legs that carry me.
Trying not to let them let me-
Don't let me fall and break me.
Be left for the monsoon to take me.
Holding fast to the thread within me.
Nothing more to be taken from me.
Won't let the doctor bleed me.
I just need me to believe me.
Phoenix, will you teach me?
At least will you remember me?


I wrote this for English on Friday, poetry unit.. I'm just hoping my teacher understands it. First impressions, anyone?

I didn't really understand it...and I didn't like the end part. What was the poem about? ^o)

It's in the spoiler. Would you say it's one of those poems that totally makes sense once you know what it's about?

I just thought it was kind of irrelevant...maybe it's just me though. (Oh, and I also commented on your other poem that you posted after this, just encase you didn't click on the Poet and Songwriter's Handbook first. :) )

Thanks. I'm hoping my teacher sort of understands it. She's admitted she's not that into poetry and is intimidated by poems that aren't commonly structured.. I went a little out of the box with it.
