James Inman Poet Senryu

Fairy Iris, For Lauren

Delicate flower
reaching for the azure sky
you stand so alone.

You search for your truth
in the company you seek
from those around you.

Always surrounded,
yet always alone, lonely,
you keep to yourself.

Your fragile beauty
belies the pain in your heart,
and your need for love.

Pastel colors mask
your false insecurities
filling you with doubt.

Needlessly hurting,
the answer lies before you
yet your quest goes on.

White, gold, lavender,
what beauty could surpass you?
Deep green, Lauren's eyes.

Andrea Dietrich August 31, 2015 at 6:15 PM these are lovely. I am finally seeing some early haiku you had posted. I see you love comparing women to flowers! What can I compare a man to now?? That's a more difficult dilemma. Hey, thanks for the sweet comment about my first place win with October sky. You are becoming a new fave poet of MINE!
