"Crush"A girl wrote a letter on an orange
and placed it on a doorstep.
That day the sky tasted fresh as mint.

I love Nye's poetry. Oranges and mint! Yum. :)
Gorgeous. Thanks for posting this--I know of Nye but have never read anything by her, and now I'm definitely going to check her out. (And I'll be craving oranges for the rest of the day.)
So simple, but so powerful! Thank you!
Oh Nye's poetry is always such a treat. What a talented writer she is! Thanks for sharing this treasure!
