Orange Rhymes With Porange

Orange Rhymes With Porange

A Poem by Juni Parks
"

I love oranges, the color alone Sunshine in my hand Chuck

"
Orange, I have heard,
is a word without rhyme
So everyone rhymes
only colors that sing and chime
Colors like red in roses,
yellow in daffodils,
green in valleys,
and purple in painted hills
But, colors like blue are the birds of song
Baby blue, bluebird, blue sky, blue moon, and true blue
are thieves of rhyme
stealing away from my unhappy Orange
whose words slide, but collide
with 'lunge', 'expunge', and 'plunge'
