Weekly Scribblings #36 - "a phoenix first must burn"

"Write new poetry or prose inspired by the phrase:
"a phoenix first must burn"  (Posted by Magaly)"


Mother Nature was
pissed off.  
Father Time said there 
was not much left.  Humans
had decimated earth.
Floods frequently reached
new heights, mighty fires
burned throughout
the land.  Cities were
wiped out, people along
with them.  Violent
virus swept in.  No one
had a plan for combating
it.  

Some years later,
Mother Nature watched
her children bloom.
Father Time set down
his watch.  The world
had transformed to 
a glorious place once more.  
Only animals survived.
