It Isn't Peachy

I tried to look it up That shade of orange and pink of sunset The one leaves become... Someone somewhere thinks I mean peach - I don't Maybe it's better to never place it or give it a name - what would I become if I had the answers to all that I yearn for? I can't ask for that colour - it has to appear in the sky or float down from a tree, like a momentary gift
dreams drop from the sky not to be held in your hand so the soul knows peace

i'm eating peaches right now :) i think this is a very unique, effective little haibun, with a good haiku/senryu to close it out

Thank you Charlotte - after reading your coconut poem I'm not sure it's legal for you to even mention a peach haha (thank you for your kind comment)
