Your petals fallen like feathers
from a fairy princesses jeweled
mantle.
Soft as the most exquisite silk
a fragile beauty of strength and
mettle.

Elegant in stature and bloom
some believe you
denote
death, destruction and doom
a killer plant housing awful
evil.

Lovely Jeweled Orchid
who has fueled
imaginations
Brought down houses and kingdoms
with your secret
machinations.

You bring good luck to many
to those who
believe
Neglect you or treat you poorly
and you can bring Kings to their
knees.
