Hi, this is my tribute to Dumbledore and i would like some replies, plz (even if you don't like it!!) And i know flight of the phoenix is a movie title, but i think it's relevant.
The phoenix flies
with certain yearning
teaching those
who are still learning
fighting with
a powerful stance
could make anyone quiver
with a single glance
but he doesn't
because he isn't bad
(though some have reason
to think he's mad)
For he can light up a room
when times seem bleak
with words such as nitwit,
oddment, blubber and tweak
Or when he's smiling
at all of his classes
often reflected in
his half-moon glasses.
Behind which, are,
of course, his eyes,
gently sparkling,
all the time.
He's always trusting
who he thinks he should,
because he believes
he must see the good.
But as he admitted,
even he makes mistakes,
but a careful rethinking
is all that it takes.
For at the lightning-struck tower,
a simple disarming,
can turn out to be
most terribly harming.
Alone and defenceless,
he's completely betrayed,
by a person he thought
was a friend that he'd made.
And so the phoenix,
who once stood so tall,
without any warning,
was the next one to fall.
And as the phoenix song stopped,
the mood turned black.
Too late, he's gone,
he won't come back.
