A Glossy Green Patina

At first it’s a pretty pink bud
that soon blooms into a flower.
And amidst an orchard of trees
wafts its scent to a passing breeze.
A summer sun sustains it's growth
beaming all the light it'll need.
And bittersweet, it starts to swell
flaunting a glossy green patina.
Getting plumper, it blushes red
as it ripens even sweeter.
And before Autumn approaches
it gets plucked from its lofty perch.
And placed inside of a bushel
it is sold along the road side.
And I buy this gorgeous apple
to gift to a special teacher.
