The Orchid Show
Yesterday was gray and bleak
And raw, as some days go,
But that was all forgotten at
The Garden’s Orchid Show.
It nearly knocked my socks off –
All the colors, patterns, shapes;
It has to rank with all the greatest
Urbanites’ escapes.
The visitors all snapped away,
With camera or with phone,
To try to capture just a bit
Of beauty Nature’s grown.
Though photos don’t do justice
To that magical display,
I’ll look at them and I am sure
They’ll brighten up my day.
