Yes, I can just see a beautiful iris standing majestically
and people like them for plants and gifts.
You have the right amount of syllables for each line.

This 5-7-5, The Flower of Hope, has the proper formatting and reminds me of my mother's back yard with these "flowers of hope" shooting up from the ground. Nice.

Elegant, the iris is beautiful and your poem is a wonderful tribute to the flower. Your poem is simple yet complex. The picture adds to your presentation. Together they get a thumbs up.

This is lovely! I especially liked "regal splendor" because it is a perfect description of this flower. The "purple majesty" part is good, too, because whenever you see them in a garden, all the other flowers fade from view.

Great 5-7-5!

Comment from Melbelles

Excellent

Very elegant, artistic, and a special haiku poem. The title is quite brilliant, it doesn't reveal the poem, though it captures it. I love how you scratched multiple surfaces to this; it just adds upon. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.
May your pen continue to be blessed,
Melbelles.
