Blood orange limes

Yes, true limes with the skin and flesh the color of blood oranges.   And yes, the taste also.  How does this relate to poetry?   Occasionally (very) a poem and/or a few words  coalesce into something shockingly new. Shockingly good.   And, yes, memorable.  Sometimes, small as a lime with a fire-red coat.

Kale

Intensely green.   What's a green poem?
Verdant.
Alive.
Nourishing
& very accepting by the mouth

How like a page is a slice of kale. Ruffled, perhaps. Full of ravines like most words.
