The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.

Beautiful, I cannot have orchids but this poem makes me want to try
I love the focus on orchids. They are so lovely but often considered tempremental...much like humans. LOL!

One of my favorite flowers. Had them at my wedding, but they were artificial so I guess they’ll never fall apart 😋
Excellent use of words. Love it.
I love how sentimental and touching this was! Thanks for sharing
So much emotion and depth, with just 8 words! Lovely stuff, Loryne!
