Oranges Poem by Gayle Sweeney

I really did get a wonderful orange flavor from the white of the orange rind. The cake called for a cup of boiled water and i used water from corn boiling on the stove. I don't know if there is a connection between corn and the flavor of the pith.

Oranges are sunny citrus.
With Vitamin C they're good for us.
An orange can be shared by two.
It can help us from getting the blues.
Oranges have crescent moon sections.
Peeling the rind perhaps - are the only directions.
Once the white of the orange rind I baked
In a chocolate whole wheat orange ginger cake (Camellia Choc.Cake)
And blueberry orange corn bread with streusel. (Cornburst Bread)
The blossoming orange flavor flowered
Was magically wonderful!
You would need the recipes
And I didn't write them down.
With that little cake though
And the bread, I just went to town.
An orange gives us sunshine and blue skies
On cloudy days or anytime.
An orange is poetry I find
With or without the citrus rind!
