P OETRY By Mrs. Boehlke

“O RANGE IS …” Orange is a rust-colored sunset, an October pumpkin, a floating balloon Orange is the taste of drippy dreamsicles, candied sweet potatoes, a chunk of cheddar cheese Orange smells like carrots pulled from the garden, like pumpkin pie cooling on the windowsill Orange is an unpopped kernel rolling around the bottom of the popcorn bowl Orange feels like suntan lotion on my skin on a sandy beach Orange is a tiger sleeping in the sun Orange is the sound of autumn leaves blowing over my ankles as I walk from school Orange is a Flintstone vitamin Orange is a wad of gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe Orange is the color of heat Orange is energy Orange is awake 5 Senses Color Poem
