I need to use the word orange in a purim poem. Is there any emotion or use of the word besides using it to describe the color of something; people see red or feel blue for example.
All I can think of is orange instead of aren't.

Nothing obvious. I googled seeing orange and found a retinal issue, and a book that's a takeoff on seeing red. Is it a lower level of seeing red? I didn't look into it too carefully.

You could reference it in context of being a color and a fruit

To clarify:
I am using each color on a different paragraph.
The orange paragraph is where Achashverosh picks Esther.
He sees red and says off with her head in the paragraph before.

Perhaps use green for this paragraph instead, and describe Esther's olive green skin.

Thought: can you end a line with the word orange and then write something like "nothing rhymes with orange" and cut off the stanza there

Or: Orange of girls waited to be seen
Achashveirosh didn’t want another mean queen.

Today is Purim
What a fun day!
I’ll tell you the reason
In a colorful way.
In Shushan, years ago,
Achashverosh saw red.
His wife wouldn’t obey,
So he said, “Off with her head”
Then he missed her
And picked Esther as his queen
So different, like apples and oranges,
Esther was good, Vashti was mean.
Haman came to power,
And sure as the sun is yellow!
Mordechai would not bow down,
It really made him bellow.
It made him feel so sick and green
He wanted to kill all the Jews.
They had to cry and repent
To try to overturn this terrible news.
Esther was informed,
She felt really blue.
Mordechai sent her to the king,
A dangerous act she had to do.
The decree was overturned,
The Jews could celebrate and sing,
And Mordechai was elevated,
Dressed in purple like a king.
