Star Fruits are Sour, but so gentle

I had been told a star fruit is sour, and when green
I have seen lightly yellowed ones, slightly sour too
Yet the fragrance upon biting into one
If only to be felt, not spoken of
The crunch of its fleshy insides, ah! The sound
Then the gentle whiffs of some flowers, unknown beautiful ones
And as the gentle sourness , seeps down the throat
You feel a union of tastes and feeling
I equate it to a beautiful morning 
Of summer, of hills, misty, and a gurgling spring
The simile of this fruit renders itself all too well
To those who see with their tongue and smell
The star fruit is aptly named, but different for each
To most the shape makes up for it's name
To me, ah the rush of its gentle hints of freshness
Is like a clear sky, in a moonless night
