Orange Were the Dahlias

So tangerine apricot carrot colored and marmalade, Blooms graced the garden of warm sunshine and shade. Orange were rich dahlias where hummingbirds hummed, With a rare beauty which left the daylight stunned! Over with the blues, skies of chiffon clouds danced, All of a summer, while huge marigold sun entranced! Orange were the butterflies, searching for delights, Whereas flame robins flounced and sang day and night!
