Fleur-De-Lisa -Win

To me, yea, Iris is invisible, The scent of yours all pervading, Behold your face all-rich, When I close my eyes. Wordsworth's daffodils to me, Membrane of the eyes, That gives light to me, Light that misleads the morn. You are the genus iris, With sword-shaped leaves, Showy colored flowers, Displaying rainbow colors Your eyes green and deep, Deeper than the depth, Stilled waters at even, Those eyes break of the day. I see a heart full of love, With the gentleness of a dove, Feel in her eyes March, September in her heart.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Fourth Place Win Contest: Convert a song into lyric by Giorgio V. *This is the revision of my Poem entitled "Break of the Day" posted on this site in 2005 based on Elton John's Amoreena. Actually it was dedicated to a Denmark Beauty. **The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower, and lis means lily) or iris

You did a great take on the Elton John song, Dr. Ram. I didn't even realize these were lyrics until I saw your note at the bottom. I love irises -- they do seem to have faces -- and I was lost in the lovely description of them. Best wishes in John's contest! Love, Carolyn
