Very interesting poem. I didn't know he was so political. Just wondering though if there are pink oranges in France ;).

Pink orange: Prolly so... when I read the poem I thought of the blood orange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_orange
Loved this poem, a powerful payoff at the end: "I cannot engage in deep talk."... "Mouthless Lover, let me give you my lips. / Let's taste the world until we slip." :)

Blood orange, never saw the like. On keeps learning things when traveling, even if the traveling is digital :) .
Enjoyed the poem, much of it might be São Paulo "Please a museum of smoke, a hall of rooftops.". But alas no huddling squirrels" And you forget the music sounding from everywhere and the eternally coughing people.

"so she neighed extravagantly at recess, dashed full-tilt, leaned far back,"Alice believed she was a horse" by B. Fulton Jennes
https://www.versedaily.org/2025/alic...asahorse.shtml
The birds were being so bizarre today,
we stood static and listened to them insane
in their winter shock of sweet gum and ash.
We swallow what we won’t say: Maybe
it’s a warning. Maybe they’re screaming
for us to take cover. ( by ada limon)

Z is for zenith, or what we’ll never reach,
a sky without its limit, a life uncontained—
though here we are, pretending to ascend,
feet fixed to earth, calling the climb a flight.
By carl phillips ( i would not have guessed i would find a poem beginning with "z"
That is always a feat, Tony! Enjoyed the poem!
"All summer, I watched moose"."Solstice " by Megan Pinto
https://www.versedaily.org/2025/solstice.shtml
Loved the poem "Yellow", tailor, it inspired this attempt:
Blue
Blue,
Soft brother
of Imperial yellow.
Where yellow is haughty,
blue is mild.
If yellow is the sun
blue is the sky.
Blue is the wide sea,
yellow the golden maize.
Yellow is acid,
blue is sad,
but together they
engender
hopeful green.
Z poems are rare... I believe someone wrote a book listing a number of them :)
Love your poem Danik 2016 :) We have a color poem thread on LitNet somewhere that has not been utilized for some time/years... maybe I'll do a search.
Solstice: "I pull silk / over my eyes, coax myself into dream, / where I cross a mossy forest floor / in reverie, the light dappling fallen trees."... Wonderful !

Questions of Travel” by Elizabeth Bishop
Questions of Travel
There are too many waterfalls here; the crowded streams
hurry too rapidly down to the sea,
and the pressure of so many clouds on the mountaintops
makes them spill over the sides in soft slow-motion,
turning to waterfalls under our very eyes.
—For if those streaks, those mile-long, shiny, tearstains,
aren't waterfalls yet,
in a quick age or so, as ages go here,
they probably will be.
But if the streams and clouds keep travelling, travelling,
the mountains look like the hulls of capsized ships,
slime-hung and barnacled.
Think of the long trip home.
Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?

Enjoyed this poem. After all everyone got a party¡

second word,
I Remember, I Remember
by Thomas Hood
I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
Sad poem of the Viet Nam war era. Thought 'beckoning' might be better than 'beaconing' at the end. Enjoyed otherwise :)
Lol... another tie... Enjoyed "I Remember"
