raindrops bejewel blue


raindrops bejewel blue
iris, the weight of water
bending the blossom down

Memorial Day, more rain. The tall blue iris on their meter long stems have fallen to the ground with the weight of water droplets still clinging to the soft petals. I fetch bamboo poles and make tripods to prop them up. Still the raindrops bejewel the blossoms like sequins on a blue velvet ball gown.
