Orange Ornament

 

These paper pages, flat and white,

stacked with fine blue lines,

are hungry for words,

fervent for verses.

So I walk along the path,

or make my own way,

searching for opportunities,

exploring the possibilities.

My photographer's eye

supports my poet's sentiment,

and a close-up lens

enhances the effect.

So I peer into this flower's

inflorescence,

a common Orange Daylily,

an orange ornament,

an instrument trumpeting

from this roadside orchestra.
