Orchid Dream

ORCHID DREAM
Edward Clay
Jan 1991


Black Orchid at night silently screams
at the approaching day.
The spider hearing this cry pauses
In repairing its web.
While a caterpillar counting its feet
Marches away to its next meal.
My soul dreaming dark dreams
hears the orchids cry.

Nicely done. I like the brevity of this and how it creates so much visual stimuli in such a short piece.
