Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

 

Beautiful

Bright colourful delicate orchid blooms 
Enchant many gardens and living rooms 
Alluring flowers in pretty hues, each one
Uplifts its perfect petals towards the sun 
Tropical blossom for my visitors to see
Intense colours with such brilliant beauty
Foliage remains when the flowers die
Until rejuvenation happens and I espy
Lovely flower stems to captivate my eye

Earl Schumacker December 29, 2015 at 1:06 PM Hi Jan, Great composition. Clearly a 7. This should be an easy win. Good luck. Love the pics. Are they from your collection? Have a great day. Earl Jan Allison December 29, 2015 at 1:13 PM Thanks Earl:-) No they are just off the web - I have an extensive collection I really should take pictures of them I have 6 in flower at the moment and another 3 with flower spikes on - the flowers can last for up to 9 or 9 months so I always have colour:-) Maybe when I get a black orchid one I will stop but I've not managed to locate one on the island yet:-) hugs Jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen December 29, 2015 at 12:49 PM - Your beautiful favorite flowers, Jan - Beautiful !!! - Good luck in contest - I wish you a happy new year - Best wishes and hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jan Allison December 29, 2015 at 12:53 PM I adore orchids as house plants and carnations are my favourite cut flowers so I treated myself to some today - they are perfect for when the decorations come down and the sparkle and colour goes:-) hugs Jan xx

Barbara Gorelick December 29, 2015 at 10:47 AM I also love orchids...have several but don't have much luck getting them to rebloom. I enjoyed how your poem also rhymed...not easy to do! BG Jan Allison December 29, 2015 at 12:38 PM Move them to somewhere away from their normal place so there is a rapid temperature drop especially at night time - I have managed to get all my plants 21 plants to re flower most keep their flowers for around 8 or 9 months so I always have colour in my living room - some of my plants are about 7 or 8 years old if not older:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane December 29, 2015 at 9:12 AM Pretty~pretty, Jan. I used to grow orchids. Jan Allison December 29, 2015 at 9:16 AM I have a bit of an obsession with them Lin I can't resist buying one in a colour I don't have - I bought a stunning vivid blue one then found it was dyed so it went back to the shop - i can't see the point when the natural colours are so so beautiful:-) hugs Jan xx

Alexis Y. December 29, 2015 at 9:04 AM Jan, you have penned a lovely acrostic. And what I saw was beautiful. Nice descriptive write! Well done. Good luck in the contest-Alexis 7 Jan Allison December 29, 2015 at 9:11 AM Thanks Alexis I adore my orchid plants. I have 21 in my lounge with 6 of them in bloom at the moment and another 3 with flower spikes forming - I get such pleasure from the challenge of getting them to re flower year on year:-) Hugs Jan xx
