Aftertaste

Like an aftertaste you elude to; 
Delicate freshness in the air,
sunshine citrus breaks through; 

Forecast’s aftermath is unclear, 
the only way to know is just to bite; 
Ignore what lingers like ‘beware’; 

You’ll be amazed at what hits right, 
let your palate go where you’re unsure; 
A surprisingly potent delight;

Expectation is the tip of rapture, 
the foreplay of grande adventure.
