Colors faded, hair is braided
Honey ham roasting in the oven.
Sounds drifting across the yard
Must be neighbors next door.
Child learning to play piano.
The scale center "C" down
an back again.
Tangerine smiles...
with the peelings in piles
Winter has passed
we sat upon the latched
front porch...
rocking and talking with
my best friend
sharing distant looks
Lingering tangerine smiles.

Orange says creativity, intelligence, detail orientation, perfectionism and scientific inclination. All of which differ from the common perception of the words. There quite often is a lot more to brief observations then is generally assumed to be, a lot more that will arise from the observed situation. A fine poem reflecting all this you wrote. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Thank you for creating and sharing. Take care.

A feel good moment in time
Loved the minimal execution of this piece. A sharp-edged memory layed down in a subtle rhythm of free verse. I could smell and almost taste the moment whilst hearing that plonking piano practise.
V. Good stuff !

Tangerine smiles. I like this concept. It brings Spring and Summer into the lasting of winter cold. I enjoyed this read, and thank you for sharing. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

different. this is what seperates a good poetess from a common poetess or a wanna be.
Your great, and don't you forget it.

Smiles and smiles
Thank you Dear Judy for boosting my ego - I am honored - but I fall short to your talent. You have mastered what I just stand entry level. Thank you for the compliment.
On a lighter note - I shall without humility rethink upon your words...I am Great ! I said aloud - Well ... the room just got quiet and no one seems to be buying that today. I will keep writing and oneday ...someday....
Thank you so very much

This is a very sweet poem. It reminds me of my youngest daughter. She is a fan of clementines. One of her christmas gifts is usually a box of clementines. Thanks for making me smile this morning.
