In the Orangery

IN THE ORANGERY In the orangery, her face glows as sunstreaks rain like the snowfall. A white bud stem her fingers pin. Hush blush is her alabaster skin. Her eyes focus to a book below, hair unmoved from the wind blow, similar to her thoughts running slow. She sits calm, hand under her chin, in the orangery. Air dances, citrus smell swings a let go sweetness dazzle an overflow. It mimics, the lady's chaste grin unhidden from her lashes spin. Her beauty and the tangerine bulbs flow, in the orangery. (c)olive eloisa 12:53am July 21,2014 CONTEST NAME: A POEM IN PARADISE SPONSOR: ISAIAH ZEBEREST 4th place, to God be the glory..:) ***Orangery - these are 17th to 19th century ground buildings with classical architectural designs...It is same as a greenhouse or conservatory where citrus trees are kept and saved from frost. It symbolizes wealth and prestige as they are also gardens... :)
