Image result for iris

Dainty as a maiden embellished in deep violet, She flutters through grassland, emitting a tangy perfume And her bodice, luscious, drifts on an organza garment That reflects queenly admiration from a sunlight blessed: How butterflies wheel around this goddess’s appointed space Cruising, parading to endow their dear noblest regard, Till she blushes in a dance to a crowd gasping aloud To applaud her womanly entrance, her spring's majesty! Personification Of A Plant Contest by Kim Rodrigues ..................... *A purple iris symbolizes wisdom and compliments * words ' goddess's' and 'luscious' have 2 syl count via howmanysyllables.com 9/20/2017

I have just read few Nette Onclaud poems-they are romantic pieces; nostalgic, narrative with some sentiments but surely good with happiness about them. I wish her going for more perfection according to her own way.
