Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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!
