To Be an Orange - A poem I wrote for english class

[Ted Gills]

[B]To Be An Orange[/B]

I am
an orange
Radiated colour
perched high
adjacent to the apples

A faceless beauty
Misunderstood from
all that is fruity
I am an orange

Sitting kindly
in a cooling ambiance,
submissive meditation
and patiently waiting
for an unsure future
I am an orange

with a juicy centre
Firm skin to peel and then enter
A taste ideal for anyone
to guide their death grip my direction
I brace myself for clawed fingers
as I patiently wait
for the unsure future

Sitting back
Relaxed
In stillness
I am
an orange

Wrote this a couple weeks ago. My teacher told me he loved it and I hope you do too. Honest opinions are much appreciated.

I don't like it cause it doesn't rhyme.

That's cause nothing rhymes with orange, and yes it does in certain lines. Anyway, good poem.

i am a goddamn orange
i do jack all
i sit in the hot sun all day

i shrivel up and stink

I liked it. Seriously, I'm this bad at critizising poetry. All I can say is that really like it.
