Iris

 

 

Title of picture: The Secret Lives of Iris 

Author is Diane Wilson. 



 


No green HM.

 

I will not ask you to post your masterpiece here but I will not complain if my contest would be your inspiration for it.

 

PW allowed o n l y if fits with contest rules.

Iris. The official flower of the Republic of Croatia where I live is Iris (perunika in Croatian).
So, it would be simple. You can write about this flower, of course if you know it, or if your imagination will go out of the box... you can write even about your grandma or somebody else but only if her name was Iris, or you can go with some other things where this title will push you. Maybe about your country official flower? Great! Write!

Rules. You know them. Who don't... well, this is not my problem.

I can't promise that I will comment your poetry but be sure I will read them all and I will do it more than once.

No form poetry. Left aligned, simple backgrounds, pictures are allowed - but - please be focused on your poetry because, I will. 

 

And ... no cuttings and dark.

 

Don't rush. Take your time.

 

Good luck.
