A propensity to allow oneself to be easily deceived or cheated.
She flew away
Mocking him
His love and gullibility
That had driven him
To make her a coat
Of phoenix feathers
When she laid cold
And shivering
In his arms

Wonderful. Quite a story all told in a little nutshell, I mean egg shell.
That was perfect! You helped me see beyond the drawing .
Reminded me of a kawing magpie, her gullibility could mean she may be a gull? Maybe her paramour couldn't be honest, so it was a good thing she had wings! Very imaginative poem!
Interesting story told,, bold and fragile,

I wonder if she always meant to use him, or if her true nature came out only after she was healed?
nicely done. so few words that say so much...a crowded loneliness sits between them...
Wow - big fat story in a little space. Well done Nathalie.
I'd still like to see you expanding a bit Nathalie, though it has to be said, this one is perfect as it stands.
