Prompt #06: Flora
Today’s prompt is from poet Bill Noble:
***
Scrolling down from the top of this page you’ll find a display of the astonishing variety of one species of spring-blooming iris in the wild lands around my home, Iris douglasii. The prompt? Spring. The general exuberance and complexity of life. Any or all of the erotic associations blooms have (the fleur-de-lis is supposed to be not just an iris but stylized male genitals). Or none of the above.
Title: Spring Transition
Floral expressions
stop short the wind blows
to take away alway all that we know
to free mother's repressions
New life and repercussions
faint breeze chills
soon to be summer thrills
sudden death deep depressions
Forget me not ambitions
scent of rain in the distance
growth meet resistance
spring fight forth to transition
