Where Ideas Grow

A blog for students of creative writing at York St John University

Orange Juice

My mind is intricate, crosswire-fragments

and segments filled with the burning orange 

of an April sunset,

Hardened veins of stubborn hostility

and an unwarranted ego which grows rootless,

A restless seedling of passion and creativity,

Yet you squeeze and squeeze and squeeze,

until there’s nothing left,

but little pieces and orange juice. 

– Morgan Adams
