Irises

White like the snow, stands
Alone supported by strong stem
So different you

Surrounded by kind
But dark dark purple showy
They lean into you

(Irises, Saint-Remy C. 1889 by Van Gogh)

You can really feel van Gogh's impressions, Sara! I belive that his Irises are his nicest art work. Very nice Choka, And thank you for your nice comments. Gert
