Basking Oranges
Poem
There once was a pen
That would light up a stem
It fell from a sky filled with oranges
It beat the damned
It shone like a diamond
It even had a friend
The hand that held it was never ending
Together they pulled fruit from the sky
And basked in juices

This is an excerpt from one of my next poetry manuscripts. I have two on the go, each a full collection. I will post the publishing date but it might not be for a while. What would the industry be without an excerpt here and there. I hope you enjoy this one.
