Poem Commentary

I had to write a poem about oranges for my creative writing class. I ended up really enjoying this one.

Orange rhymes with Door-hinge

Orange, you are a beautiful liar.

Pulling me in with the brilliance of a sun.

You promise to dance on every taste bud.

But each promise is a lie

and each taste bud runs in fear.

For your flavor is bitter

like an Amish father who's children all left to experience the world

and never returned to Lancaster.

Thank you

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
