Poem: Flower Cup

source

I had a yogurt cup full of irises and Lily-of-the-Valleys and water.

The little white flowers were umbrellas stacked on the stem.

The irises smelled like fiery citrus.
Their petals opened up like tents to invite bees inside,

Abstract with petals printed with brown lined designs,

Orange brushes inside.

They also had purple spades.

Some of the lily flowers were submerged.
