Volume I: Smoke-Lit Lines
Poems of Flight, Fire, and Becoming
Where pain turns to poetry and ashes spark renewal
From the ashes of loss and life’s deepest reckonings rise the words that refuse to stay silent. Smoke-Lit Lines explores the raw terrain of grief, transformation, and inner resurrection — where pain births power and endings ignite new beginnings. These are poems that smoulder with truth, burning through illusion and making way for light.

Volume II: The Embered Heart
Verses on Love, Loss, and Soul Recognition
For the hearts that burn, yearn, and remember
In The Embered Heart, the language of love flickers with passion, soul connection, heartbreak, and longing. These verses trace the tender pulse of romantic love and spiritual union — where desire meets devotion, and where grief and grace intertwine. A tribute to the fierce beauty of loving deeply, even when it scorches.

Volume III: Beneath Her Brim
Feminine Portraits in Poise and Power
Whispers, wit, and the women who wear their strength in style.
Witty, wistful, and unapologetically feminine, Beneath Her Brim captures the many faces of womanhood. These poems play with glamour, resilience, cheek, and quiet sorrow — often hidden behind parasols, wide-brimmed hats, and subtle smiles. A collection for the women who carry worlds in their eyes and secrets in their style.

Volume IV: Tides and Tempests
Nature’s Voice and the Soul’s Longing
A journey through wind, water, and the wisdom within
Elemental and introspective, Tides and Tempests dives into the restless places of nature and soul. With ocean swells, wind-swept sands, and the call of the sailor’s heart, this volume honours both external landscapes and inner voyages. These are poems for those navigating life’s weather with grit, wonder, and a listening spirit.

Volume V: Riotous Rhymes and Revelations
Playful Poems for Life’s Absurd and Awesome Moments
Because sometimes poetry just needs to poke fun
A playful rebellion against life’s absurdities, Riotous Rhymes and Revelations is Karie Rohrlach’s poetic wink at the world. Here, cream cakes become weapons, waxing turns philosophical, and country pubs spill more than beer. A delightful detour into satire, mischief, and the laugh-out-loud truths we all secretly know
FEATHER TO FLAME


A Poetry Collection
by Karie | The Phoenix Writes
Poetry that ignites the soul, softens the edges, and speaks with the voice of fire and feather.
Welcome to Feather and Flame — a five-volume journey through the human heart, spirit, and imagination. These poems are drawn from the embers of lived experience and carried on the wings of creative truth. They are both fierce and delicate, forged in transformation and penned with tenderness.
Each volume offers a doorway into a different emotional and spiritual landscape — from the ashes of grief and the ache of longing, to the elemental pull of nature, the silent strength of womanhood, and the wild joy of life’s irreverent absurdities.
Together, these collections invite you to rise, reflect, laugh, and feel deeply.
Feather and Flame is not just a poetry series — it’s a living anthology of transformation, written in ink and embers, guided by the soul’s own fire.
