Day Seven: Orange

Namaste,

The HalfMarathon event is back again, where participants share ten posts in fifteen days. I opted for colors as my theme for the event. Each day, I will post a short poem about a color.

This post is a part of the Blogchatter Half Marathon 2025.

***

What came first—the fruit or the color?

The warmth and joy of the color

Or

The citrusy sweetness of the fruit

Spontaneity and stimulation

Encouragement and upliftment

A gift given freely, with youthful energy

Yet, impatience and domination take over

Squeezing the orange is hard

Until the giver becomes a sucked orange

Left with bitter pulp

Dry and devoid of the dripping juice

Catching the flames of fury

That could burn everything to the ground
