Iris Poem
Iris is a tall stately plant;
Rhizomes should be divided every few years.
Iris in Greek means 'rainbow' for all their colors;
Spring and early summer they bloom.

Another good one!
Nice. This is my first day trying to sit up and read some since the bronchitis flattened me nearly 2 weeks ago. I'm so sorry to have missed so much of your work. I hope you will forgive me and know that I'll be back stronger than ever as soon as I can.

Irises are among my favorite flowers. Thanks for this outstanding acrostic poem!
Lovely Iris poem. The Iris flower is always special to us. My 91 year old Mum was first born of triplets. Her brother Allan was second and a baby girl named Iris was third. Iris died on the fourth day after birth.
You are the only one who can use Rhizomes in a poem - love it!
