Orange Aide

I am singing again with the warm
vibrant colors of citrus sunsets
and my opera teases & pleases me

Light the window of expressions
and touch the illustrous fusion
of autumn awe and flowers

jet fire daffodils, tulips, calendula
and lillies of enchantment
will entrap and scratch your muse

with fingers filled with fragrance,
damp and determined...
so, incorporate these hues in you

It will verse you into submission
with a soliloquy so shapely,
your once silent muse, will drool

    This is absolutely delightful!!I am SO smiling right now! So many well turned phrases. Stellar use of poetic devices, as well. (LOVE that last stanza, too. ) Expert use of metaphor throughout. Imagery is brilliant and abundant, as well. I am thrilled by all the "color" in this, both figuratively and literally. Superb language. Simply stunning work here! Thanks for this beautiful entry, and Good Luck!
