News at Eleven (Back Page): Among the best

is the poem from which the title derives--about his [Gary Soto's] first boyish attempt at romance--which refers not to flame but to an orange "so bright against/The gray of December" that from a distance "Someone might have thought/I was making a fire in my hands."

from The Washington Post: Poetry for Kids
