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.
