The Iris Poem by Roger A. Rose

The Iris



In the crisp spring air,
basking in the noontime sun
even as winter snow remained,
verdant shoots pushed upward
through the warming earth.

Small reaching fronds
soaked in the warming rays and
rewarded us our torpid winter wait
with a flashing array of color bright,
a kings hued flower.
