Ordinary Orange
ORDINARY ORANGE
Flickering flames within a fire,
the Monarch butterfly,
a burst of juicy citrus fruit,
a slice of pumpkin pie.
The California poppy,
a goldfish swimming round,
lava rock, a hearty veg
growing underground.
A terra cotta planter,
an oriole flying high,
a new day dawns, this color orange
accents a crimson sky.
Important too, it’s vibrant hue
marks a danger zone,
so lets celebrate the shades of orange
from peach to copper tone.
