Phoenix Inspires..

The Height of Haiku Challenge Day 26

Prompt : Phoenix

For my Elephant and Ant Haiku, 

I have picked up the meaning of Phoenix as : 

A person or thing of unsurpassed excellence or beauty; a paragon.

Elephant is struck

Reading, doesn't know meaning

Of phoenix, asks Ant..

Happy Ant tells him; 

For her Elephant has always

Been a true phoenix..

******

Here the meaning taken is:  A bird in Egyptian mythology

that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire,

later to rise renewed from its ashes.

Phoenix inspires,

Else, stories of man's rise from

Ashes won't exist..
