Oppressive Orange Oppressive, torrid summer eve, your orange, fiery sunset glow instills the air with sultry heat that radiates on earth below. Such beauty in your orange light; a flaming heaven 'round our sun. And yet, your atmosphere bears down oppressive warmth the sun has spun. Bright orange sky of pure delight, a lovely painting for our eyes. Though spellbound by your glowing light... distressed by heat from fiery skies. Oppressive, orange summer sky; you radiate on earth below and fill our air with torrid heat... from orange fire of sunset's glow. Sandra M. Haight ~3rd Place~ Contest: United Colors: Orange Sponsor: Silent One Theme: Oppressive Orange Judged: 03/06/2016
