PHOENIX
By Neil Ellman
Response
Apparition in fire
consumes
chimeric flame
communes
ghosts of the past
exhumed
from pyre to flight
resumed.

This illustrates why Neil Ellman is the unrivaled king of ekphrastic poetry. His poem mirrors the simplicity and elegance of the image, his words convey a narrative suggested in the living-ness of the photo. Outstanding.
