Orange thrills me not at all
Except for, maybe, in the Fall
When leaves ignite to match the dawn
Then spill their colors on the lawn
To roll and rustle on the ground
With jack-0-lanterns all around.
I am not fond of orange a bit,
But candy corn is still a hit
And citrus, studded well with clove,
Rivals the fragrance of a grove.
A witching moon of orange hue
(I must admit) is pleasing, too.
I don't like orange much. It's true.
Except, of course, for when I do.

Excellent pictures. I am gonna follow you.
I love the rhymes and the beautiful pictures. I love orange leaves in the fall.
Wonderful pictures! I love orange and these made me smile.
Oh, thanks, Sue! The autumn leaves gave me a moment of coolness! :)
Cute little poem :) I love the pictures you chose for the color orange. Looks like orange is best suited for autumn and Halloween and Candy Corns!
Super fun! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. :)
Sue you have read my mind...I am so ready for Fall...I love it! I love the crisp air, the shades of red and gold and ORANGE and rusty browns...I love love love the colors and feelings of Fall!! And I am so so ready for it this year!
we got something similar,
but the last two images are stunning and I enjoyed them.
;)
All of these orange photos are making me go crazy with longing for fall! And halloween. I loved your poem, it made me laugh. And can fall just get here already? I vote we skip August. Nothing good happens in this month!
Sweet poem and pictures. I think a lot of people feel the same way about orange lol.
Funny, because I had a fleeting thought the other day, wishing it were fall and time for Halloween. Then I felt guilty because I should enjoy summer while it's here. I love orange. It's, you know, my *color*.
SO cute!!! I loved this!
We painted our kitchen "Terra Cotta" a few years ago and it is SO orange (screams orange) that I think almost everyday, "Ugh. I want to paint my kitchen blue!" but alas, too much going on and there are other priorities.
Maybe I should just stud some oranges with cloves and put them in a bowl in my kitchen. I love oranges with cloves. :)
This made me smile.
I loved your poem,Sue! I think I like orange because Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a child (all that free candy!) and pumpkins make me smile.
Wonderful poem and pictures and,if you get Shiju Sugunan, one of my favorite of all photographers as a follower, yhou truly are special.

I'm so ready for fall, and Halloween and I get ahead of myself come August.
Great photos, such happy oranges~ love your poem too :-)
I just loved your photos and poem .... wonderful post!
You certainly pointed out the good in orange. But it does not belong on the walls in a home. I once went to a dentist who had orange walls in his office and I never went back again.
Very clever rhyme! I love it! I like the orange moon, cloves, and that orange grove photo the best! Such wonderful photos!
Oh my gosh,Sue. I love your poem....who would think to get inspiration from the color orange? Not this girl, anyway. I loved it and I can see that lot of other people liked this post too.
I also have to tell you that reading this raised my spirits considerably, for which I am grateful, as I was feeling pretty low before. So thanks for that.
i like orange a lot. cool post.
darling poem...and stunning photos. I have a bit of an obsession with candy corn....all your photos make me long for fall
Leaves - yes
moon - yes
candy corn - yes
That room......eeeeek!
I agree. That room is DEADLY!
=)
I liked the room. It made me want to eat a creamsickle. :-) The pictures were beautiful. I have never liked orange until this past year and now I love it. Not to wear, but I love it in other things.
I loved your poem. It was very cute.
What a wonderful rhyme! Great photos too!
You are the queen of rhyme, meat and meter! Bet no one ever told you that before!!
The images you chose were a riot of color. I loved your clever verse. I don't like it either, except when I do.
I haven't longed for fall once all day, until I read this.
Oh Sue. August needs to go away!
I drove my folks NUTS with that joke! Great pictures!
I have been told that joke almost daily for 19 years - and I always laugh -
I love your photos and the poem together are great!
I didn't think I really liked orange until now. Beautiful pictures.
I kinda feel sick reading this (even though it was great). I'm not ready for fall. Not yet. My kids are already growing too fast. Give me a few more weeks of summer to savor them. Please? ;)
I love the wording, pictures, and the feel of your post! Very nice..
Your poem with the pictures was wonderful!
Sue, this was incredible. I loved the entire thing, start to finish.
Your orange poem definitely kicked my orange poems butt.
Really, really awesome link!
Thanks for participating. You are really something!
Orange has been more fun than I expected! Loved your photos. And, yes, you can have a piece of my peach pie...if only we were neighbors....I mean real neighbors and not virutal ones...ha.
Love this!!! Thanks!
Is it October yet??? Enough summer already!:-)
