Orange

Orange,                                        

The color of the juice dripping from a fresh fruit.

The shade that paints the sky as the sun rises.

A pumpkin on Halloween,

Smiling up at you with it's carved features.

A piece of paper a child cuts into with scissors.

The color of paint,

Carefully dotting the mosaic on that wall.

Soap, that pours out of the bottle,

Twisting into your hand like snakes.

The color and flavor of the homemade frosting on a cake.

The color and taste of a lollipop,

Or a refreshing popsicle on a summer day,

And the second color that makes up a rainbow.
