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.
