Citrus balloons fly
Toward those stars of glitter,
As painted fireworks
Splat upon sheets of paper
Soaked in the darkest of inks.

Tangy citrus salad bowl
dribbling fruit juice dreams 
of mother’s glazed berry pie
ice cold apple sip
on warm palm tree beach
banana 
splits

Premium Member Orange

Original citrus flavour
Ripe, sometimes small
Also good for vitamin C
Nothing can taste the same
Given its flavour and healing quality's
Everyone should have an orange a day

gorgeous rainbow sky this morning
citrus peach turning into pink
contrast against the bright blue ocean is breathtaking
a baby seagull stands in a pink shadow

Premium Member Nothing Like Store Bought

succulent citrus
fruity and wet
dripping down my chin
I know I am in Georgia
When I can pick my own peach
Off of a tree in grandma's yard
heavenly nectar, loving the taste
nothing like store-bought

Premium Member Funny

Funny the way it was then Feisty teen who loved sweets Fine icebox fruitcake served Fruit quite different mixed From citrus~lemons, limes Flipped fruit flew from teen's lips Fantasy taste was gone

Giant Swallowtail

bird poop
covering the orange tree –
giant swallowtail


We had these caterpillars on our little citrus tree until heavy rains washed them away.  :(  We were hoping for flying flowers!

Cheerful cherries adorn
Cherished cream memories.  
Classic vanilla notes,
Charming hints of citrus,
Comforting spiced snugness,
Crisp winter afternoons,
Cozy family nights.

Premium Member Tangerine Topics Turn Up

Tangerine topics turn up in magnificent minds of Manganese
Enhancing the mind of she who is the most easily at ease
Imagining new possibilities is something that we promptly seize
Enjoyable to watch her think in the citrus tropic windy breeze.

Premium Member The Color Orange

yellow and red marry bringing forth orange
Buddhists revere her, she is the color of transformation
she inspires fascination, creativity, hot positivity
we see glimpses of her in citrus orange twilight
the sun is coming up; she is arriving now

Premium Member Citrus

Come on, you have to admit
It's juicy and tantalizing
Tasty and delightfully delicious
Rich in flavourful vitamin
Uniquely filled with sunshine
Solely for the joy of biting into it

Amazing beauty, citrus delight, esteemed Florida growers,
Hoping irresistible juices kiss lips make nuances optimal.
Producing quality reared sweet tasting, universally
        very wanted, x-tra yum, zestfully.

Premium Member FRUIT SALAD CITRUS VEGETABLES--

pricot and plums; are they served in fruit salad; citrus to me so ~ melon-choly bowl; filled with collar turnip green; fruit cocktail salad; ~ urban session dreads; drenched in hot sauce Red Devil; ranch dressing salad?

Premium Member 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.

Birds Swim

Birds swim in soapy lily water
Against the currents of time
Fish fly on citrus scented air
Watching centuries pass them by

Premium Member Swirls

Blueberry vanilla swirls,
slow-changing in the transient breeze
and tidal flow and ofttimes
capricious light. A citrus topping
sparkles after rain, with
jujubes of humanity clinging to their place
within a mesmerising kaleidoscope 
of sumptuous sweetest fantasy.

Crafty Casanova Clown

Charisma
Character like fizzy soda
Charismatic bubbly citrus cobra
Slither like a quicksilver persona
Persuasive chanter of poetic chatter
He has the aroma of one who is
A chiseled chest square chin
Chilling mister chinchilla Casanova
And quite the master enigma

Wandering Mind

Golden spades of lemonades
Grasp the citrus garden.
The blues of berries pardon,
And apples cave my heart in.

Trees spines of vines
Caress my soul of passion.
A splash of fine wines
Perish an everlasting fashion.

Crispy dew, the wind blew,
Fork my mind, so confined.

Premium Member When March Alights

Bloom
of green 
leaf cascade
spring citrus whiff
bird cheep and lamb bleat 
madrigals swirl
snowdrops on
winter
blight
