The powerful friend of red and yellow,
orange is warmth and fire and glow,
the orange of the sun as it bursts from the horizon,
the hues of autumn leaves that cover the ground,
that plump pumpkin sitting on your porch steps,
orange is that beautiful sky at dusk,
and that radiant mix of strawberry blond,
golden orange,
a clementine in a basket,
blood orange,
peel after peel,
until you get to the center,
unoranging the orange.
