Ode To The Orange

[icyfroth]

I just unpacked a 3kg net of navel oranges.  They were so fragrant of sweetness and sunshine,  I had to pay homage to them: 

Oh Orange I love you

You are a small globe of Sunshine

Your juice is like nectar 

Your flesh is the goodness of life

Your fragrance breathes warmth into the darkness of winter.

You are beautiful.

It's one of the Australian  poems I had to study years ago when I did Leaving (HSC) English Literature at night school. I can't really remember what I was taught about the meaning and imagery, but I liked the sound of it and some lines from it have remained in my memory all these years.
