Ni Katuata Contest

will keikis arrive
from the nodes of your flowerless 
fingers? I think not.

will bringing orchids
and cutting free their flowers work?
Perhaps if it’s our wedding night.

Jack, I like your poem a lot, best of luck in the contest. I have never been lucky with orchids, I think that I water them too much ~ peace and tranquility _Constance

I have an orchid with three keikis on it - all are in flower, have got over 30 orchids now and managed to grow one from a Keiki so i must take the plunge and cut off these 3 from the mother plant! Love the poem for so many reasons Jack, good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx

Yes! Orchids are wonderful. I keep some from time to time. Sometimes when i see them in the store, I’ll pollinate one or two to give buyers a mystery when they get them home hahaha
