A COUPLE OF COUPLETS
Alone yet with purpose he lived as a pilgrim
an autocrat he in his own private kingdom.
Like the dead lying still in their shrouds
he lives with his head in the clouds

Two fine couplets Michael.
Thanks Andy
a fine write and pic Michael. Was he living in cloud cuckoo land (the second couplet)?! And where is Cloud 9? Why everyone want to live there? Why can't some live on Cloud 10, 11, etc?!
Only his head was in Cloud 9 - don't know where the rest of him was !!
Thanks MIKE ~ Lovely picture ~ My MUM has yellow IRIS in her pond ~ very spectacular ~ like much in life ~ Transient & Beautiful ! Loved the doublets ~ No. 1 is my fave ~ know many people like that ! Yours BRIAN
For Poetry and Dress he chose
A fine DOUBLET and tartan HOSE !
I guess that'll be Iris Pseudacorus if I've got the spelling right - can be a bit invasive but worth the trouble - thanks Brian.
Michael,
The irises are very beautiful! They remind me of my very young years when I lived with my grandmother for a while! Her garden was full of them! She would let me pick some of them for the vase I kept on her dining room table!
Great couplets...
I guess in our own private kingdom, we can afford to live with our head in the clouds!
