I must say purple seems to be your color. And purple Iris is a hearty bulb, seem to grow everywhere. sometimes it's nice to sit back in a beautiful spot and contemplate the nature of things, It sounds like Purple Iris helps/
Very nice

Hello John it is lovely to see a post from you again.

This lovely verse speaks volumes to me. The desire to travel to interesting places, the peace and tranquillity of your comfortable room and the realisation that home hold the best of everything

hugs

Freda

Wow, this is a beautiful live poem that sounds like a Velentine. Your turn of phrases is delicate and imaginative as your fancy travels around the world only to settle upon being with a loved one at home "where purple iris grow." No, the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Thank you for sharing your fine poem. I wish you contest success.

What a lovely poem and a beautiful picture to accompany it. It portrayed such tranquility and serenity. I was with you all the way. Spot on.

This work has reached the exceptional level

What a beautifully hand crafted piece this is Janet, it's a non sloppy, no nonsense composition, which displays your wordsmithing abilities, and rolls off the tongue in a smooth, articulate and expressive way. The entry is perfect for this concert, and tetrametric/trimeter with a silken abcb rhyming, well done, good luck, Roy

    Thank you Roy for your thoughtful and encouraging review and the special rating.. I always appreciate you comments and look forward to hearing from you.

    Nate has finished his season there and is now working for a few months before coming home. His plans right now are to return to Queensland in January or February and play next season. We would love to come visit him if he returns to Australia but that remains to be seen.

The picture is very beautiful. It reminds me of Irises by Vincent Van Gogh.
You had many exciting ideas, like traveling around the world. But it seems a little vague who the narrator is talking to at the end of the poem. Again, thank you for the poem.

    Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging review. I love Van Gogh Iris. We were privileged a few years ago to see the original hanging in the Getty Center in LA.
