WILD ORCHID -

Orchids that grow on high places like having a mind of their own. Could you tell me what's the secret? Your magic struck my bone. You ascend to climb the high trees like you had your own legs; You grow on where the wild breeze could freely kiss your lips. You climb high towards the light so you could dodge the blight; To the peak of your might, you soar, so, no one could harm your soul. You make the trees your anchor without really hurting their core; The atmosphere is like your base where you could bloom and flourish. The blossoms of your loveliness radiate the radiance of your beauty; You take away the loneliness of the hearts on agony. Your charm is unsullied but you'd rather choose to hide; Your beauty is like the rarest pearl that dazzles like a priceless jewel. Your blooming beauty is so divine, You're so untamed but fine, Only those who dare could find a way to rope your kind.

Dear R. B., your soulful portrayal of wild orchids is beautifully expressed with vivid imagery and vibrant appreciation. Lovely personification as well "You grow on where the wild breeze/could freely kiss your lips" - wonderful! Congratulations for your excellent win in Ink Empress's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you very much for the expressive appreciation of my work... I spent many of my childhood times on the mountains, adoring the beauty of wild orchids... But also, I used wild orchids to express my appreciation and longing for someone I could compare to a wild orchid...
