Iris by William Carlos Williams

a burst of iris so that
come down for
breakfast

we searched through the
rooms for
that

sweetest odor and at
first could not
find its

source then a blue as
of the sea
struck

startling us from among
those trumpeting
petals

  1. An unrelated comment…I really enjoyed Rizzo’s World. I finished it night before last. It is an interesting world in which he lives…bittersweet at times. The book was really engaging and I liked the characters. Nice work. Cheers =)
