Along the Wooded Edge

Gary Edward Geraci

Conventual, clusters of purple,

Curvilinear pointed fang pairs;

Communal, petals joining with back

And front sides differing but in color

And pattern: variegated faces - round

Dots, splotchy blotches and striated

Lines with solid backsides white, white laced

Rims, one projecting nostril apiece,

Flared ears and gazing out the glazed glass:

 

A symphonic round of robins blacken

Tree branches, the rising Sun behind;

A silhouette watching celebration,

The orchids orchestrate a cheerful

Contentment known to souls lost in prayer.
