The smell of freshly peeled oranges takes me back to childhood, freckles and cardamom. A happy nostalgia I replenish every time I zest an orange. Haikus on theme.
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.
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.
These are so wonderfully lush - rich and beautiful language and imagery, Mya! ๐งก๐๐ฆ

I now want to write a whole collection called Shark Infested Snoods.
What a wonderful idea! Please share if you do, Sarah.

Thank you so much, Jo; I too will join you forever hoping and "imagining planting of trees instead of planting of power."๐
