Poem A Day - Day 16
Our assignment today from Poetic Asides is to pick a color, make it our title and write about it. I don't really have a favorite color - but I always SAY it's orange - because it matches my hair. So I chose orange!Orange
Spring's wild lillies
Orioles in the ball park
or in the trees
Entertainment for me.
Summer's sun setting
Juicy sweet peaches
or a popsicle
Dripping down my chin
Autumn leaves
Pumpkins on the vine
or in pies
A feast for tongue and eyes.
Winter hearths glow
Sweet candied yams
or orange slices
Warm childhood memories.

Orange is not one of my favorite colors....but I do like a lot of the things mentioned. Good job at evoking some of those memories! I can almost feel the popsicle dripping down my chin and see the autumn scenes.
