Purple-yellow iris (Kay Stewart photography). Poem by you know who.
Purple-Yellow Iris
Sometimes I feel all blue
Sad Sorry Down
Like the Blues
A Rhapsody in Blue
Sometimes
When the Blues
Begin to play in me,
It happens –
Blue bursts into purple
Leaping into joy
And a burst of sun-burst yellow
Comes crashing through the blues
I feel all clean
All wet All up
Like a hymn
An ode to purple-yellow joy
Views from the Edge 
Wow…this really touched my heart and soul and encouraged me. Thank you for sharing!
Slainte, Lisa

I agree with Sparks In Shadow— “Blue bursts into purple” is a familiar feeling expressed in a surprising way. (I really love being surprised by writing.)
I love the idea of spring as an allegory for shifting moods— it feels really fresh and lush!
