1. White Orchid
The White Orchid is graceful and delicate
Soft and gentle like water, it captivates the heart
Its petals always wear a bright, cheerful smile
But who can tell if the heart of the flower is happy or sad?
The spring garden gently carries its fragrance
A group of white butterflies lingers beside it
Refined people and passionate admirers
Who wouldn't admire and gaze upon its beauty?
Soft, slender, and exquisitely beautiful
But who really knows the thoughts hidden in the flower's heart?

2. Summer Wounds
The sunlight glimmers around the branches of purple orchids
The petals gently curve, resembling a soft smile like lips
The wind takes a long, sweet breath
Then drifts away in search of faraway places
People have forgotten that summer long past
But my heart still holds the echoes
Of every moment once shared with a dance
The water never fills the spade-shaped leaf
The dike by the village splits, leading in two ways
You left your home, but we remained
Many summers have passed, yet I still remember
The memories we once shared, rich and warm.

3. Purple Orchids
You won't return this evening to the empty streets
I wish and my heart stays forever sad
The rain has stopped, yet my soul remains restless
I wonder, why aren't you the same as before...?
I sit here, staring at the purple flowers of the past
Silently watching the branches now withered
I know you won't be coming back...
The heartless one who shattered the falling petals...
I return to the memories, floating in emptiness
Those days full of countless moments
Do you remember, love? Who would have thought they'd vanish?
The purple orchids, sad, their petals falling by the doorstep...

4. Orchids
Whose garden carries the sweet, fragrant air
Soft and gentle like orchids in bloom
So sweet, like a love that cannot be erased
A fragrance once lingered, now just a memory
The orchid's scent fills the air, rich and deep
Carried by the distant breeze, lingering in memory
The white flowers sway with grace and elegance
Their beauty stirs the heart, bringing wistful thoughts
The pure white orchids stand like a delicate lady
Shy and modest, like a graceful maiden
The late evening air carries their subtle fragrance
A glance, and the scent stays forever in your mind
The orchid's perfume is gentle and mild
Taking us to a land of poetic love
As the night falls, the scent still lingers
A deep love for the white orchid flowers.
Poem by: Mạnh Chiến


5. The Garden of Love
The delicate stems sway, releasing a fragrant scent
The vast garden of flowers, a scene so rare
Glorious blooms reveal their emerald buds
In the quiet night, the moonlight whispers love
The orchid branches are filled with unwavering devotion
Guests arrive, welcomed by rosy cheeks
The noble maiden, radiant and proud
While the wandering poet’s heart still lingers.
Poem by: Nguyễn Mậu Hách


6. Who Can I Blame?
I set off to find the missing piece of my life
To rediscover love, like in the days gone by
My first love, still burning with fiery passion
A flame that will never fade from my heart.
I return to the memories of youthful days
The white orchid hanging gently by the old porch
Bathed in the evening sunlight, as the willow weeps
Here, moss and time still hold the shadow of the past
Under the hazy moon, so full on this quiet night
We shyly held hands, feeling the lingering warmth
The breeze carried the scent of orchids, stirring the soul
I wanted to speak my wishes, but remained silent.
A sad breeze pretended to fall asleep
I owe you so much, more than words can say
I owe you the words of love, a blush on your cheeks
I owe you my first kiss, a debt I carry forever.
Tonight, the moon is a pale illusion
I silently carry your name in my heart
Through countless moonlit nights, I’ve searched for memories
Only to accept the truth: we are strangers now
Who can I blame… who can I accuse… but the hesitation of that time...
Poem by: Mạnh Chiến


7. The Spectrum of Colors
The lush orchids, vibrant in color
Snow-white petals, gently smiling in bloom
Jasmine stands nearby, its fragrance intoxicating
The delicate rose, a touch of lipstick on its lips
The yellow chrysanthemums echo autumn's sigh
The white jasmine flowers spread a subtle perfume
The citrus blossoms exhale their sweet scent
The pure white lilies carry an eternal fragrance
Fresh and graceful, the heavenly jasmine
The fragrant osmanthus, never losing its charm
The willow drapes, its delicate red blooms falling
The graceful orchids, beloved by many
Each petal carries its own unique charm
A celestial path leading to a paradise unknown
You, my muse, have kindled the fire of the poet's soul
And helped weave verses that erase all sorrow.

8. The Butterfly Orchid
The Butterfly Orchid looks so delicate
Refined, soft, with a gentle fragrance
Elegant people, visitors from far and wide
All are drawn to admire the beauty of the orchid!
Admiring the flowers, my heart feels at ease
Countless verses flow through my fingertips
Oh, Butterfly Orchid, how beautiful you are!
Bloom longer so that admirers can gaze at you in awe.
Your scent is gentle, soft and serene
Not overpowering, your fragrance lingers just right
Oh, Butterfly Orchid, my heart is entwined
Why don't you speak, leaving me with a lonely heart!
Looking at you is like hearing a song
A melody flowing like a river, so passionate, so pure!
Oh, Butterfly Orchid, oh Butterfly Orchid
Why do you only smile, teasing my heart!...

9. Orchid Flowers
The golden sunlight of the early morning shines,
In April, who understands my heart?
Spring passes by in a hurry,
The soft rain brings abundant love and care.
Purple orchids wait patiently,
The petals evoke feelings of longing.
Loving flowers that bloom with grace,
Come walk with me, along the dreamy path.

10. The Orchid of Unmatched Beauty and Fragrance
"The Orchid of Unmatched Beauty and Fragrance"
Once it lived amidst the wind and ancient forests
The petals are timelessly beautiful
In a myriad of vibrant colors, gracefully fragrant
Breathing the fresh air, a thousand flowers bloom
Pure, serene, harmonizing in color and scent
The tapestry of flowers weaves dreams in the night
A masterpiece known far and wide
Once hidden in the mountains and woods
Now it graces the bustling city and peaceful countryside
The more you gaze, the more enchanted you become
Like the beautiful girl of the bonsai village
There is only one of its kind
Its beauty and fragrance unmatched by anything else.

11. Orchid
He fell in love with you, the purple orchid
Living in the wild or returning to the city streets
With vibrant colors and sweet fragrance so pure
A touch of green amidst life, so mysteriously rare
The flower growers are dreamers at heart
Orchids smell like a beautiful country girl
No poem or prose can capture her grace
As if magic exists between heaven and earth
Wherever they bloom, they charm and compete
Sharing passion, their bond is strong and sweet
Spreading fragrance to enrich our lives
Offering their essence to the world’s delight
Some say the kings admire orchids, others tea
Delicate and serene, with patience they grow
Orchids and people form a bond so deep
That even friends far away feel close, as though near.
Poem: Hai Cương


12. Phalaenopsis Orchid
They say you're a rare and precious flower
In the midst of towering forests, called PHALAENOPSIS
With colors in every shade—green, red, purple, yellow, orange...
Standing proudly against the winds and rain!
You’re accustomed to living among the grandest trees!
Your beauty mingles with the forest’s elegance
You and the great trees share a timeless bond
Carrying masterpieces through the years and seasons.
Phalaenopsis, the autumn brings life to you...
Your petals still shimmer like silk and satin
Breathing in the air and the mist, you bloom a thousand flowers
And yet, you live harmoniously, full of fragrance and color.
People are captivated by you, from North to South?
Because your orchid colors never fade or wither!
As for me, there's one orchid I love the most
The loyal purple one on the majestic mountains!
Heaven and earth gave birth to you, an ideal flower
With mesmerizing beauty, resilient against the storm
Life gave you rosy cheeks and gentle lips
Blooming in the world, they call you the FAIRY FLOWER!
