Extraordinary Orange
Flickering flames glow from a fire,
the Monarch butterfly,
a juicy burst of citrus fruit,
a slice of pumpkin pie.
The California poppy,
a goldfish swimming round,
lava rock, a hearty veg
growing underground.
A terra cotta planter,
an oriole flying by,
a new day dawns, it's radiance
compliments a crimson sky.
Most importantly it’s vibrant hue,
will mark danger zone,
so let’s celebrate the shades of orange
from peach to copper tone.
