After drinking a Kona,
We went for a walk,
Not until I spotted them,
Was there much talk.
~
I was delighted to see berries,
Hanging on lime green trees,
It made me so giddy,
I nearly fell to my knees.
~
The sun highlighting them perfectly,
It was still early,
Their beauty was enough,
To make a girl girly.
~
Never before,
Have I ever seen,
This color so beautifully displayed,
Except in my dreams.
~
Why, my favorite color,
There is no logic,
Purple of course,
Is simply magic.

These are called American Beautyberry. Callicarpa dichotoma ‘Early Amethyst’ (Purple Beautyberry)
I have never seen these before!; what a treat!
