Catley Guavas

In August school holidays rain or sun Cattley guavas are ready in upland We trek and pick until we are full But one who doesn’t may be a fool Red or yellow both are very tasty We eat them raw or in jam or jelly Sweet tropical cherry fruit in the sun In large bushes make watery tongue On strawberry guava birds feast Stories come up of seeing some beasts Monkeys are happy to make their fill Families make a day in the nature's fields Some fight diabetes and,for vitamins Others taste them till they reach the rims It's like a great feast in the bushy places just like the Champ de Mars horse races Pickers also picnic to make it all fun Staying there till the setting sun

It's a small red or yellow guava very common in my island in winter. Sweet and a bit pungent. Thanks for your comment. Hugs Sew
