Oranges

liquid treasure

tanned taste gurgles

at the back of your throat

a tart trickle

tickles the tonsils

toothsome

irreverent

Day 6 had a challenging prompt at napowrimo.net:

Today’s prompt (optional, as always) veers slightly away from our ekphrastic theme. To get started, pick a number between 1 and 10. Got your number? Okay! Now scroll down until you come to a chart. Find the row with your number. Then, write a poem describing the taste of the item in Column A, using the words that appear in that row in Column B and C. For bonus points, give your poem the title of the word that appears in Column A for your row, but don’t use that word in the poem itself.
