For JB -
Similar to your situation, a friend of mine can only paint and draw. So I wrote a poem for his work...
梧桐高枝鳯凰貴 On the highest bough of the Wutong tree the grand phoenix perches,
地上群立蠋我尊 But on the ground, nothing is nobler than I.
紅冠一頂朝日召 A red crown on my head, I summon the morning sun,
天下就此萬事宣 All matters under heaven henceforth can then be announced.
Note: The phoenix, sovereign of birds will only perch on the Wutong tree and nowhere else.

@Flora: Thank you.
@Ming: In other words, "I am the real phoenix because I have the power but you are just a figurehead looking pretty. So you can't compare to me because you can't beckon the sun to your call." Actually, there was a commentary accompanying my text explaining this but I have decided not add it to insult the intelligence of the reader.

Your firend has painted a good rooster.
But phoenix is more beautiful , we both know that .
So why you are going to write 鳯凰 on this painting ? It's seems like "hey, ereryone ,look at me！ I'm rooster I know you think I'm cool , handsome some thing like that ,anyway let me tell you " THE PHOENIX IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD, PHOENIX IS WONDERFUL! "
See? this painting is about a rooster not is a phoenix, your poem is great I admit it.
consider my opinion :)
