Best Tangelo Poems

I was quite the cunning magician, famed for my illusions and sleight of hand,
Like cool tricks that jade green nature plays, that often we don't understand.

Days were filled with wonder and enchantment, like purple, star aster fields;
And the wonder of a coral, orange and red...

I was a capable, urban professional, quite eagerly living the high life;
Like pink robin, of the saffron noon zenith, afore shadows bloom rife.

My daily work was very challenging, and it allowed me to be creative;
Like the generous stains of colors, which to changing skies, are...

Autumn arrives astride a chilly breeze
Urged to paint the leaves before Winter's freeze.
The forest faires are all set to go
Under Luna's metallic golden glow.
Magnificent gilded moonbeams unfold,
Natural beauty that's strikingly bold.

Caramel amber, copper, and yellow,  
Offset a reddish-orange tangelo.
Like a shimmering swarm of honey...

Orange Lovers

The artist Michaelangelo
loved to eat a tangelo
and Da Vinci could be seen 
munching on a tangerine

Like an eye through a keyhole
the moon's eclipse obfuscates
sun's white incandescence,
turns the solstice to morgue-gray.

As mist rises from a charcoal lake
laced with ice's torn edges
minions of leafless oak and alder
witness in slate silence
winter's pewter ghost,
floating phoenix-like
above July's embers
when water shimmered with indigo, 
rippling tangelo butterflies...

Dawn unhurriedly raises,warms and embraces as fresh soothingly breezes quiet the daylight.
Aromas of sweet morning glories blanket the air while the valiant trees ballet in majesty 
with no cares.

Melody of the robin enlightens the way.
Daybreak is welcomed for it’s lengthy new day.

Strenuous hours of exerting...

The sun was sporting a radiant yellow,
with headlong pause, upon entering her space.
Tanned and serene, cheered by warm fellow,
Larissa’s slightly demure, emanating grace,
framed in the joyful shine of bittersweet tangelo.

Sungaze tints her bucolic gown, each thread,
a xanthous treat in the field of convergent reap.
The stipple...

Lemons are sour and limes are green
mandarins are as sweet is anything
I like oranges

Kumquats and clementines have funny names
grapefruits and pomelos taste the same
I like oranges

Sweeties are as sweet is citrus goes
but I would rather eat a tangelo
I like oranges

Uglis help make your skin gleam

The night a blazing orange.
A sense of freedom and adventure cuts through the air-
Nothing can stop us now!

The sun sets to leave only a tinge of amber,
As the day creatures turn to their beds except for us-
The night creatures,
For whom has sprung to life.
We run...

Slowly I rise. I patiently await my royal cue.
I wait for my brother’s last radiant tangelo hue.

Darkness will have vanished. All will welcome the new day.
My beams of warmth will blanket my children at play.

From the grass in the meadow, to the lofty tops of...

Orioles, blue jays, blackbirds, and red robins all sing
robustly to tangelo sun, as meadows and woods ring.
All through spring and summer gloss, as roses glisten,
Nature's noonday, jade heartbeats, cause all to listen!
Glittering gold on green lakes-an afternoon of amber,
Exotic trills rise, in quiet hours of...

What a cameo in the hot harmattan eve !
Sweet soursop scents marinated with the haze 
And all the other ones impasse in my qui vive .

Words became satisfying minting juice ,
Black with currents ,mingled bittersweet after 
Soft like lush ripe and delicious in undying truth...

Dreamy days of summer, violet petals on the wind,
Apple green forest music, too bad it will soon end,
Petals cover wild walkways, summer's just leaving,
Trees are weeping beauty, summer is just grieving.

Tangelo sun is arising, full of destiny and purpose,
Like fading seasons, always managing to resurface.
Sunlit...
