You're right about the fact that "sometimes it's the simplest things." What a lovely poem about purple orchids making an old house glow.

Sharyn, I can almost see it from where I am. Oh how I miss Hawaii when I read your poetry and prose talking about the smells and sights there. A little homesick, great poem

Excellent observation from your drive home. Flowers can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. Even the wild ones are beautiful.

I'm seeing purple now!

Cheers,
Dw

This is a sweet poem, I agree that orchids do make a house glow. It's a well written piece and who ever reads it should feel happier in doing so..

You are absolutely right . You can find the pieces is the best places and I have seen one that is totally covered in the most luxurious white flowers that make it seem pure. Funniest thing,,,it is abandoned. this is perfect in its simplicity

I must have given you your two 6s this month! This poem is so lovely, I wanted to give you one now. Often the 'old' and unassuming have a certain radient glow. I really enjoyed this one. A pleasure to read. xsx Sandra

Your exceptional way of writing poetry has really painted a beautiful picture.

I was on that drive with you, and could see the house, and the lanai.

Now will go onto my lanai and look at my two orchids that are blooming, I will dream and wish,

Thanks for brightening these dreary Florida skies with this lovely poem.
