You brought to my attention a girl's name by the name of Iris. You selected a very great flower that blooms in late summer. They are a very delicate flower to handle, the petals are soft.

Excellent haiku entry for the 5/7/5 flower contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize. I would make the font bigger and add some space before and after the poem to balance the huge picture with the poem.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Your poem was lovely as the flower about which it was written. I have lived in Louisiana my entire life, and I never knew it was a symbol here. You taught me something! Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I did not know the iris was the Louisiana state flower, but seems appropriate. It is a majestic purple. Good poem for the flower contest. Best of luck.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. The state flower is the magnolia. The iris is a state wildflower that represents New Orleans.
