Things About Me

I love the coral sunsets as I look out at the sky. Watching as bats appear to drop by. To stand in a grove of lemon trees and smell their yields. Or inhale the scents from some lavender fields To pick a tangerine in my parent’s yard Or an orange to eat that is not too hard I don’t like chartreuse and not to be mean My favorite color is aquamarine. To taste the rice with saffron flavor Is an experience I definitely savor. Eating a watermelon with its juicy drips As I hurl the seeds away from my lips Take drives along roads dressed in lilac on the sides And scream to the air that I love the Crimson Tide.
