Pretty. Such beautiful imagery and so creative. Iris, yes very regal. Great use of the form. I love the title! Smiles from Lolita

Nice use of imagery for a creative view. This is so creative. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Keep on writing. Karen

What a striking image -- irises as "queens of the garden." They certainly have incredible beauty, Barbara. One of my favorite flowers. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
