Convalescence

Poetry

She is a phoenix
She will rise from her ashes
But what right you thought you had
To burn her when you pleased??

She is a maple tree
She will sprout new leaves
But how did you dare to strip her off
When she was laden with blooms?

She is a fighter
Her bruises will heal
But how will you be justified
For cutting her deep??

She is a diamond
She will dazzle and shine
But then may you be warned
She is hard to her core
You crushed her,wanting to break her
Well look at you hands , I see them bleed!!

I like the metaphors and images in this poem. The tension builds up throughout the poem. Very effective.
