Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Andrea Dietrich's Imagine Yourself As A Color Contest...15Aug 25

I Am Orange

When tint of duskfall weaves through a cloud
I spill lacquered paint on bays, ashore
my gold-red shades draping sand.  Endowed
with citrine flame of sky , I soar:

Call me ambrosia  too. Just outside,
nectar drips from  marmalade nights
honey  and  cantaloupe bless my glide--
O I'm there...when slice of dawn alights !
