Ginger’s a rhizome
An iris is too
Some irises are pink
But this one is blue

lovely and makes me long for Spring ….

The elder folk in my part of Kentucky call irises “flags”.
The rhizome part of the poem is like most poetry–growing underneath, part of a larger mat of culture and history and genes. The part we see is just the showy part of plant, the flag, “waving not drowning”. Instead of rhizopoems, perhaps we should call these “Rhymezomes”?
Of course – we call them flags as well. That’s a really nice word for them 🙂
Glad your head is warm 🙂
BTW, I am wearing your warm knit down to the barn this morning to bottle feed triplets whose mama doesn’t have enough milk.
It is beyond wet.
Suffused and oozing
Mucking around
in the barn
I dream of flags
and sward
and kites.
My head is warmed
