Ode d'Orange

An intentionally bad poem

Liz Gorinsky


The things that poets oft describe,
Like skies and roses, fruits and sunsets,
Need names the rhyme scheme doth proscribe.
Finding rhymes may stunt one's content.
One way to give your thoughts expression,
Is talk of colors, dreams, and kissing.
How can I polish my profession,
When words I want are all but missing?
In all my days, there stands out one offender,
The harshest barrier 'tween mind and tongue.
Tigers, pumpkins, leaves in late November,
Must all their hue and pallor go unsung.
A revelation long by poets rued:
You want to talk of orange? Ha! You're screwed.
