Tangerines

Runner-Up

George Klewin

You are the superior cousin of the orange. 

My sweet, juicy, citrus dream. 

You might not be as big as an orange or grapefruit

but you pack twice the flavor.

Tangerine, o tangerine, how glorious can you be?

Your perfect soft peel. 

Plump, full slices of goodness. 

You are everything I could want.
