Very interesting perspective... sadly, there are plenty of abandoned children all over the world. Uniquely written.

Profound and thought provoking.. Some of them might say it is better on the streets than at home Nikko.. Hope your weekend will be blessed one ;-) Wilma

I agree with Dr. Ram, this is very meaningful. Seeming to be about moths but just those poor children of the streets. VERY nice, Nikko, and I am happy you liked my apt. poem. Kind of off the beaten track for me, writing that way. Luv, Andrea

A thought-provoking and heartfelt poem, Nikko. Children of the streets are often left on their own to pursue their dreams. You always do well with metaphors and imagery. Blessings and love, Carolyn

Very profound and deep in its meaning, not really about the mango trees, is it?
