Ah, I should have spotted the ring/void one; that's essentially rhyming images at the end of the line instead of phonemes.
I see what you mean about the contrast between annuals and irises, but my reaction to that one is more of an "eh" -- and this reminds me of one of the other things that gets between me and a certain kind of poetry, which is my astonishing ignorance of the natural world. :-P If the imagery of a poem depends on me being able to vividly see a flower or a tree or a bird in my mind's eye and go "yes, you have captured that perfectly," it's liable to fall as flat as a pancake, because my ability to ID such things very nearly stops as "that's a flower, and that's a tree" . . .
