The Royal Court

The iris burst forth 
Elegant lacey splendor
Crowns of every hue

Short is their spring reign
Long necked queens of the garden
Receiving homage

Such a wonderfully delicate bloom with such an ugly stalk; however, there is nothing ugly about your poem. Like it much. Congrats on this fine selection. Love, daver
