My Yard the Fruit Bouquet

My Yard the fruit bouquet By Weston Gregory Its gonna be that day again, when the sunshine reveal the morning And makes you smile, To watch a petal opening its fragrant scent drawing you right in Atop the dew on a leafy limb, flying fast a humming bird pause; Then whiz, again passing your eyes glistening and the feelings Breathtaking I’m foliage free but my yard isn't like me From its height a pear, A heart shape avocado dotting about the sour sop Could not have its tangy sweetness retract Its skin like a spiky hat Bread fruit, mango custard and hanging just a stretch Planted for a next man to get The fruit none other than the sweet sop Barely can you refuse the bumpy look its got None the nectar that have anything on that All year round sight and scent of hibiscus, water lily, Cercee And orchid All but make our glad bag bust That though elusive Such bouquet can be found in our yard its beauty an Added bonus

"Atop the dew on a leafy limb, flying fast a humming bird pause; Then whiz, again passing your eyes glistening and the feelings Breathtaking" I like this verse. Nice poem with strong metaphorical expressions.

Great imagery WR! I can feel the sun, while admiring the hummingbird I yearn to taste of the fruits, as the fragrant flowers fill my olfactory senses! Well Penned! Robert

You are describing scenery (and quite well) in a warmer climate at a lattitude closer to the equator. This is something good to read now because it is the middle of winter, and we had a lot of snow this past Tuesday.
