Where Iris Bloom
Harriet Slaughter
Where iris bloom the lane grows bright
with purple, yellow hues of light.
Perfume with scents of spring can bring
a memory to which they cling
to days long past, of footstep’s flight.
Each step they made in sheer delight,
with garlands laced in springtime’s rite.
They said their vows; exchanged a ring
where iris bloom.
Long since they’ve travelled day and night
to places far from home’s bright light.
But none compares to early spring,
the welcome path or garden swing
where iris bloom.
