Pretty Orchids

Delicate butterfly orchids
stand paper thin and tall
Perfect pout pink lip-gloss kisses
with proud protruding power jewel centre
Ephemeral Angels 
sign of life and hope
renewed strength and passion
Powerfully poised petals
gently nod affectionate ‘I love yous’
long since they were given as gift
bringing forth renewed romantic setting
an idealistic reminder every day

I love orchids, too. I think I have a picture of one posted on redbubble. If not, I should. I enjoyed this write Anna-Marie. (And thank you for commenting on my rhymes... smiles.) I do hope you two are feeling better. Are you? With Love, Dane Ann
