O riental beauty
R esting on long slender stem, ruffled
C ontoured petals, painted the palest
H ues, stir, kissed by the morning dew
I dly they shimmy and bow
D ancing to their airborne tune.

I have a poem about orchids as well. They are by far my favorite flower. They have a very unique history behind them. Especially in chinese culture
good luck in the contest

I love acrostics and you have made this one come alive with your imagery. No picture needed. This was a delight to read. Congrats on the bronze cup.
