Dogwood, Iris, and Dogs ― Day 29 of NaPoWriMo 2015

 
 Pink Dogwood Tree
 
Walking along the sidewalk
When we came upon "this tree"
O, oh, oh, raved another
Pink dogwood tree winding down
 
Blooming still 'til season's end
In full bloom earlier on
More pink than green this dogwood
Always, blooms til season ends

 
 
 
Blue Beagle Iris
 
Came upon this flower bed
Iris, blue, trace of purple
Likes afternoon shady spot
Just like my old beagle dog

I love that the flowers remind us of their namesake (not blue, of course)... I feel the nostalgia.
