Fig Leaf

I stand here beneath a beautiful fig tree,                                                                        all filled with it's tiny flower blooms.                                                                                I am looking for it's luscious fruit,                                                                                  the delicious pear-shaped fruit upon her branches.                                                       Ready to pick makes my mouth water,                                                                        I cannot wait to eat.                                                                                                       I love her figs cooked with meat,                                                                                   jam on warm toast is just a treat.                                                                                  Fig honey,                                                                                                                    is truly heavenly.                                                                                                            Now for it's large leaves with three to five lobes,                                                          I want to make a fig dress for me to wear.
