Fourth in the Series

I am reading aloud
A book I’ve not read,
The fourth in a series
Thus far we’ve enjoyed.

The heroine just discovered
She has a voice like
An orchid in a field of daisies,
A gift.

And I realize that I don’t like
Books with such unexpected
Grace, because it leaves me
Feeling

Insufficient.
Why wasn’t such grace
Given me? After all, what daisy
Wants to read about an orchid?
