Memories of an Orange Tree by Charlie Harrison-Chu

June 14, 2023

I remember being a seed,

A small hard waterdrop shape,

Put in some soil, buried, and watered,

And put into greenhouse

 

I remember my first shoots

And my roots deep down

Sucking water up to my shoots

To help my trunk grow strong

 

I remember my first oranges

all green, round and small

Slowly ripening into perfect

juicy oranges.
