Status Updates From The Orange and Other Poems

Some sad ones in here

I like oranges

I know this is all very boring.
There was drama enough in my turbulent past:
Tears and passion - I've used up a tankful.
No news is good news, and long may it last.
If nothing much happens, I'm thankful.
A happier cabbage you never did see, My vegetable spirits are soaring.
If you're after excitement, steer well clear of me.
I want to go on being boring.

Tich died when she was twelve.

picture this:
i have an aversion to poetry, but an even greater hatred for doomscrolling. i take the greatest shower of my life, throw on my fluffy, emerald robe, and lay down in bed.

i could scroll, or i could read. this poetry book has been sitting next to my bed for weeks. i grab a pencil (a god damn wooden pencil) and begin annotating. i get six poems in before i am absolutely floored.

i like poetry.
