Sweet pea
The iris have peaked, /
the day lilies yet to bloom, /
the sweet pea shines.

Sweet iris
Sweet iris, three blooms: /
birth wrapped, life unfurled, death gnarled. /
Three phases, one root.

Skirt
Iris rise from dark soil, /
dress in a skirt of May rain, /
bloom and fall from light.

On the road
On the road to spring, /
the iris and the rose met /
after a May rain.
