The Orange

Round and ripe... Florida delight... Thick or thin peel... Knife used to reveal... Burst of citrus mist... Surely sun kissed... Fills your mouth with both sour and sweet... As a snack...it can't be beat. P.R.Deremer

Pam..I enjoyed this piece...matter of fact and about the here and now...have you read the late British poet Sylvia Plath? Please do...I think it would strengthen your beautiful poetry...Peter.

No, I've never read anything by Sylvia Plath. I'll try and do that. Thank you.
