Iris
Delicate, fragile, fleeting;
Beauty
Gently swaying in the breeze.
The Beauty of Iris
SemperVivum
Sits and spreads
And lives beneath mention.
No great artist
Ever drew its visage.
Semper Vi
Iris lives brief,
Its days of bloom.
In the moment;
Present.
Semper Vi
Always alive;
Lives long;
Prospers.
Love and Grace and Gratitude, Annie
ps. SemperVivum is more commonly known as “hens and chicks.”

Beautiful shots Annie. Hens and Chicks and Iris are two of my favorites. Happy Trails 🙂
Thank you, Teresa! I didn’t mention that the common name for sempervivum (or my nickname: semper vi) is hens and chicks.
I love them both and have them both in the yard. My iris’ are beautiful right now!
Keeping you in the present and always alive! Enjoy those Iris and Sempervivum!
Enjoyable photos and post. What is the name of the type of verse you wrote (if there is one)?

Thank you, Anne. The type of verse is free verse. So happy you enjoy it!
Very nice.

Beautiful!!!!
Thank you, Cee!
Really inspiring thoughts put into words! I love succulents. Do you also grow them in your own garden?
Thank you, Mat! Living full-time in my RV, I no longer have a garden. But the Semper Vivum grows profusely in my daughter’s garden where I took the photos.
