Dumb nature could not recognize
The Christ; the fig tree did not,
In an instant, change seasons,
And bear fruit for the Lord’s craving.
Now the Creator Of All,
Demonstrating His Sovereignty
Over all things, forever changes
The unfortunate fig’s fate.
At once rendering the fig
Evermore unfruitful, in fact,
Leaving it withered and dead,
The Son of God teaches mankind the
Power of prayer and faith in God:
‘Whatever he says will be done.’
Gary Edward Geraci
“Have faith in God. Amen I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Arise, and hurl thyself into the sea,’ and does not waiver in his heart, but believes that whatever he says will be done, it should be done for him.” Mark 11:23-24

A bit of a mystery? It says 'The time of figs was not yet'.
I always look at your stuff with interest, Gary, but I believe here the dialogue should be between yourself and orchi. I think both of you know what you are talking about.
On a different note - is there such a thing as a non rhyming sonnet?
