Tangerines,

they have a certain tang,

a certain tinge,

maybe it is the orange within that makes them sing.

bits of joy to ingest,

a sunshine wine, I drink into my weary rest,

my thirst for sweetness it does sate,

its nectar now my soul does gain,

as my lips are kissed by its citrus grain,

it's dripping drops fall like summer rain,

they leave me laughing, yes, quite insane.

Ok, so here's the deal. Pick a word, any word, preferably a long one. You'll need to find as many words within the word as you can, each word being a minimum of 4 letters long. You'll need at least 11 words. Now, your challenge is to write an 11 line poem, each line ending in one of the words you found in your original word. Assign the original word as a title, and there's your poem!
If you got all that, get writing, and good luck! :)
