Lovely haikus, Mya. Your writing is so beautiful.

And on a side note, the smell of oranges reminds me of childhood too! I played football as a kid and we would always have orange slices at halftime haha.

Thanks Mya :)

Just beautiful. I can taste the sweetness of the orange.

Blood oranges, blood, oranges. I wish that everyone could right now enjoy the sensory abundance which you describe so evocatively. Just imagine if there were planting of trees instead of planting of power.

Thank you. Jo ๐Ÿ’š
