Answer:

When you say, "to swallow something hook, line, and sinker" it means to completely fall for whatever was said or to completely believe what was told or presented. Usually, what was presented is a lie, and when the person is gullible enough to believe it, the phrase applies.

The sensory details used to convey images in this excerpt are mainly to do with the grape vines and also the flowers. The grape vines are depicted as "brawny ropes of brown" which conjures up an image of thick strong sinews  which spread all over the porch and around the windows and form frames around the windows in "thick bowers" and the flowers in "riotous glory" exhibit wonderful colours and with pleasing textures like the velvety nasturtiums.

Answer:

As I lay awake during the desolate and somber hours of the dark, completely oblivious to the world around me. I drift asleep and the deception of dreams catch me in their grasp. I dream of Valiant hero's and steadfast trees. As I watch their leaves turn from a vibrant green to a soft orange. As I gallop through the woods with the audacity to ward of anything that dares to come near. Then I wake. Never to know the sweet world of blossoming trees, again.
