Purple ~ In Celebration National Poetry Month

the drapes are drawn
the drama defined
the play of light and shadow
staged be the folds
the casting complete.

Bloom Sublime

The entrancing hues of a purple night
Bathed in the passion of this day's light
Petals, leaf and stem in green entwine
Such be the beauty and grace of Iris bloom sublime.
