Orange Orchestra

 

I'm walking 

in the welcome shade of August 

along this quiet country road.

Dense clusters

of Common Orange Daylilies

flourish in the heat;

one new bloom each day

on each plant stem.

A late summer orchestra

of orange trumpets flaring

at the top of each stalk.

An abundance of ordinary

at the side of the road,

ready for your investigation,

worthy of your appreciation.
