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.

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