I took a walk
'Neath moonlit skies
Into the deep, dark wood
The earthen path
Wound round to where
A wizened oak tree stood
And 'neath her boughs
Upon her roots
The queen of flowers hid
Her fragrant scent
Filled up the night
A wondrous Black Orchid
a eerie deep dark wood reveals the black orchid chillingly beautiful poem must be in Turkey where they are found...imagine growing a real black rose you would be a millionaire, very nice to read originality...regards
That is music dipped in gold! A wonder you are to behold! (I won't even add any blond3 jokes here)
BG, i think you 'want' boughs, not bows............ :) ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - bough bou/ noun noun: bough; plural noun: boughs a main branch of a tree. apple boughs laden with blossom synonyms: branch, limb, arm, offshoot snow-laden pine boughs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i found a LOT of definitions for BOW, some being nouns and some verbs [not all pronounced the same either], but none fit the poem, i believe. BUT one noun-definition of bow does have the same pronunciation of bough, i believe. SO confusing! ! ! ! i like the poem and its arrangement. i like wound round. and i like the tricky hid/orCHID rhyme. very nice. thanks for sharing. :) bri
When you write Black Orchid it does sound elegant, and your poem added it to be kind of nice shades to its beauty...Good choice of name and beautiful poetry idea as well.
I own the same intoxicating potion and believe you have done great justice to its opaque grandeur!
