Juicy

Ode to an Orange

Little Orange! But big with Bright;

Let us taste Your juicy Light

Round and Smooth, exact with care;

Quarter'd, or Halv'd, equally Fare

Ev'n Juic'd! A taste refin'd and pleas'd

Upon your sight, Taste Buds seize

With a sour and sweet, beautifully met,

As if, directly to my soul, or appetite, you have whet.

Althought colors of Auburn, or Tennessee,

Your nectar is a truth-filled treaty,

An unchoosing, blindfolded light,

Encapsulated by your Rhine;

Orange, and Bright
