O is for October

Shades of Orange

An Ode to the magical and mean hue of orange

Photo by Author: October Sky Glory Edged with Rage

dipped in gold orange burnt umber orange coral and persimmon rays brilliantly back lit skies of dawn and setting sun

oh juiced, fresh, tingling, delight orange concentrate is a fright creamy vanilla iced orange dreams savory paprika-ed Chicken Orange Marrakesh a finish of chocolate and orange would that I could be so sweetly paired

bumpy peel of orange pithy and bitter a jail for sweetness within same as jumpsuit orange clothes some bad ordeal

faded glory of youth orange streaks in faux auburn hair orange bronzed pitted skin in HD offends will the jumpsuit fit or pull at the seams on the sweet sunrise shimmering with orange light when he is marched into hell and out of our sight

frost shimmers as it slowly decomposes the jack o lantern to a pool of orange goo under a blood orange Harvest Moon

My inspiration for this Ode to Orange

“Rotten Pumpkin” comes with a voice. Photo of hand-carved rotten pumpkin by Author

Sorry, Medium won’t let me add a recording of “Rotten Pumpkin’s voice” Think gravel, smoke, and far too many whiskies à la Nick Nolte.
