An Orange Anniversary (Full sonnet)
\nby cricketjeff on February 27, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved<\/p>\n
Well wrapped in the arms of a loving rest,
\nIn orange to set the heart aflame.
\nA beautiful maiden has dreams well blessed,
\nWith the image of lovers she can’t yet name.<\/p>\n
June lies so artlessly, love will arrive.
\nThere’s hope in the smile that plays on her face.
\nWhen he arrives he will bring her alive,
\nShe is the prize at the end of the chase.<\/p>\n
Will she awaken and see that I’m here,
\nSmiling and dreaming these dreams of my own.
\nBeauty asleep in the midst of the year,
\nAll through the seasons her passions have grown.<\/p>\n
A kiss on the lips and she comes to my arms,
\nA year to the day since I fell for her charms.

The full version is dedicated to Ithica who was holding the contest and
\ngraciously allowed me the time needed to correct my errors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
