John Jones wrote to the list inquiring about a poem named "The Iris"
consisting of five stanzas of three lines each.
John,
I believe this is the poem that you were asked about by the Stanford
student:
IRIS
a burst of iris so that
come down for
breakfast
we searched through the
rooms for
that
sweetest odor and at
first could not
find its
source then a blue as
of the sea
struck
startling us from among
those trumpeting
petals
