A Pride Of Tiger Lilies Opening



    Garden Poem of the Day

    A Pride of Tiger Lilies
    By Bill Dogget

    While weeding in my vegetable garden,
    I took a needed break, from my hoeing, 
    I gazed along the creek over the glen,
    A pride of tiger lilies opening.

    It appeared to me an exposition,
    A thousand deep, emerging on parade.
    Row on row and column after column,
    In full regalia, a marching brigade.

    A brilliant orange with narrow spots of brown,
    On each top hat, a yellow pollen crown.
    Shoulder to shoulder in closed rank column,
    Marching, marching in ornamental plume.
