Can you wite a poem about the orange boxes?

I am a poet.

Why?

I think I would rather be a painter, but I am not.

Well, for instance, delia is starting

a painting. I drop in.

"Sit down and have a drink" she says.

I drink; we drink. I look up.

"You have a BOUNCY CASTLE in it."

"Yes, it needed something there."

"Oh." I go and the days go.

I drop in again. The painting is going, and I go.

The days go by. I drop in. The painting

is finished. "Where's the BOUNCY CASTLE?"

All that's left is just letters, "It was too much," delia says.

But me? One day I am thinking of a color.

I write a line about orange.

Pretty soon it is a whole page of words, not lines.

Then another page. There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how terrible orange is and life.

Days go by.

It is even prose. I am a real poet.

My poem is finished and I haven't mentioned orange yet.

It's twelve poems, I call ORANGES.

And one day in a gallery I see delia's painting, called BOUNCY CASTLE

    that went on so long I don't know if you still want the poem.

    Walking on the beaten path

    I met a man needing a bath

    he said he met a wee family of foxes

    that were trying to steal oranges out of boxes.

    Spider oh Spider oh what prose

    tis the first i see of yours

    the painting, the drink

    of orange, blue and pink

    blending in gently i suppose

    your bouncy castle in a frame

    and 15 minutes of glorious fame

    it hangs there for you to see

    somethings are just meant to be

    so hold your breath and let it sink

    while the rest of us have a drink :))

    to you II

    I love those orange boxes

    they allude me like foxes

    I try with all my might

    but still get no delight

    i am only here to have fun

    but deep down i still want one

    then along comes spider

    who seems to be a witty fighter

    And yet I have but one wish

    thats not to play the sea eagles squish

    i have not done this since school

    were i had no english skills

    So this is just for you

    simply because i like you

    ''SQUISH''

    Most on yahoo had ugly badges

    some were very proud of them

    but the colour orange clashed with decor

    So yahoo trashed most of the badges!!

    Orange

    I saw a painting in a hall

    In a gallery on the wall

    Bouncy castle was it's name

    But when I looked inside the frame

    There was a spider there instead

    fast asleep and in it's bed

    with delia by it's side

    and lots of poems cast aside

    The reason for this I say

    is too much time on Q & A!

    Orange boxes it seems

    Nothing but a sad reminder

    Of the addiction I got in

    Day in and day out

    I roam and see who's around

    Sadly I stayed

    Hope to get a glimpse

    Of him one day

    Unto this time to my dismay

    Orange boxes

    Was just a reminder

    What a fool I've been

    Lingerin' in

    A real poet sits,

    Orange box open.

    Prose spills forward in melodic tones,

    Overture to the soul in monochrome.

    Orange box closes,

    Melodic tones depart leaving souls searching.

    A real poet?

    The reason I wore my free range socks is

    Because they come in orange boxes.

  • 1 decade ago

    I used to have an orange box

    I used to keep it full of socks

    But then sadly one very bad day

    Yahoo took my box away

    So now that I have no box

    I've had to stop wearing socks

    My feet are really beginning to freeze

    I want a box.Did I say please?
