First spring iris
early evening light glows
soft wind whispers
Note: for those interested in growing iris, these rebloom. They will bloom at a minimum again in the autumn. They are so prolific, that I separate them annually and throw them everywhere I have a blank space like here near the barn. They will bloom for at least a month.
Inspired by a friend’s poem, I decided to take a look at some of my book stacks and write a poem from their titles–in honor of National Poetry Month.

Things Fall Apart
Gone Home
scissors snip blossoms
strong storms bring destructive cold
final flowers of summer
storm clouds gather in the west, rumble
hover over ancient graves
rain drops fall upon the dead and dying
heat shimmers across the endless plains
black clouds rumble rain
coyote howls float in the electrified air
pushing mower round and round
exhaustion
flower petals brush my face
walk slowly on the rim of wonder
throw rocks into the abyss
feel snow melting on your perfect face
shades of pink, purple, red and yellow
children laughing, playing
song birds sing their territorial songs
Six years ago my first exchange student, Kornpanod (Mink), from Thailand, joined my life. Recently, she came to visit me for a month.
Six years ago she graced my life
joy filled beauty.
Now back with me briefly with love
exploring, riding Rosie, laughing.
