Orchid Blossom

by David Cohen 5/05

I am an orchid blossom
Carefully and skillfully being tended to
By gardeners in the sping,
Just a small orchid
Being watered and weeded,

I am a little orchid,
Budding with my
Brothers and sisters,
Being tended by gardneners
Who will help me grow to a flower

I am just a bud waiting
To grow while being painted
By Vincent Van Gogh, a French artist
My brothers and sisters are waiting with me
While standing ain a pose

I can't wait to grow
With the city behind,
The beautiful oaks
I am treated kindly and carefully
In this serene area
With nobody to bother me
But the weather


inspired by the painting, "Orchard in Blossom with View of Arles"
by Vincent van Gogh
