A threatened orchid has come to sight,
Used for a drink called Turkish delight
and aphrodisiac and to heal,
for anti-gas and antidiarrheal.
Tell me now, if you possibly can,
Why it is called the naked man?
I wanted to say defamiliarization effect......derived from Russian formalism.
Each petal of this flower looks like a naked man with two legs, two hands, a head and his genitals exposed......! Amazing creations of Nature! An interesting limerick!
The tips of the petals do look a little bit like legs. Great poem and picture.
awesome to bid tribute to flowers... your poems on flower serve the demilitarization effect for flowers......hanks.
A beautiful and fascinating bloom and an equally magnificent poem. I hope Kim is finding these
Thank you much, Kelly. Kim is finding them, and not to happy I'm stealing his thunder, I think.

I would like to translate this poem
Thanks for sharing this Turkish delight with so many rare qualities. The title of the poem captures the attention of reader that is more or less a tribute to the flower. I hope somebody would unravel the enigmatic query- Why it is called the naked man?
