Peel and Eat an Orange

Daily writing prompt
How do you unwind after a demanding day?

When days are demanding and I have to unwind,

I very often reach for an orange to unrind,

The process of peeling,

Somehow gets rid of that feeling,

Of dissatisfaction from the daily grind,

A simple pleasure,

At the end a treasure,

A globe of juiciness,

A Goddess of Fruitiness,

Sweetness and Firmness all combined,

In the moist package enclosed in that rind,

I’ve got my Vitamin C ,

No need for supplements or herbal tea,

A boost to face another day,

That juicy orange is my little sunshine ray.

Hands peeling the skin off a fresh orange on a wooden table
