wild orchids
and why should i remember
orchids
if always roses i ask
to the lady of the shop
which, with its variety
of colors, shapes and sizes
she resents with me
for always asking roses
and why should i remember
of wild
if always calm i ask
to the lady of the establishment
which with its variety
of colors, shapes and sizes(?)
she resents with me
for always asking calm

orquídeas selvagens
e porque me hei-de eu lembrar
de orquídeas
se sempre rosas peço
à senhora da loja
que, com a sua variedade
de cores, formas e tamanhos
se indigna comigo
por sempre pedir rosas
e porque me hei-de eu lembrar
de selvagens
se sempre mansas peço
à senhora do estabelecimento
que com a sua variedade
de cores, tamanhos e feitios
se indigna comigo
por sempre pedir mansas

  1. Being a wild child, I will always favor orchids over roses, unless they are wild roses :) I have the picture of the man in the flower shop weighing his decision. A lovely piece of writing.
