Orange


8 comments:

  1. Why orange?
    Insidiously unrhymable
    Even OJ reeks of death and depravity
    Unpeeled
    a bite like my mother’s favorite cocktail
    rinded and bitter
    Peeled
    sweet and seeded
    Give me apples
    peaches
    grapes
    or leeches
    Orange the new pariah.

    1. I love the unrhymable. What is it about orange that brings out the negative?

    2. Because I love oranges. Thought I would see what it was like on the other side.

  2. across the street
    sits an orange house
    not my choice

    if it were mine I’d
    paint it light blue

  3. The orange bark of the Christmas tree trunk.
    An innocent opossums orange nose sharing an omen.
    Fruit in a bag care package, including an orange.
    Put away the overnight bag an pull the emergency switch.
    The opossum warns "Don't become road kill, like my uncle."
    So I fade to Orange, the new black.

  4. “Orange”

    Warmth without the bright or burn
    Spark before it settles
    Stereo hum
    Ragged glow before the darkening
    My first favorite
    Most loved
