Orange by Megan Saunders

Orange

Orange is the sun
Setting over the beach
On a warm summer night
Orange paints the walls
Which surround my bed

Orange is the tang
Of bell peppers in my stir fry
Orange is the sweetness
Of marmalade on toast

Orange is the soft velvet
Which covers the couch
Orange is the slimy gel
With which I wash my hands

Orange is the scent of roses
Freshly cut in a vase
Orange is the aroma
Which fills the air
Of my tropical summer home

Orange is my best friend’s voice
Singing our song
Orange is the wind whistling
Across the sandy earth
