Notes About The Poem

Placed Second in: I AM  a Tree Poetry Contest of Tania Kitchin

I am a Mango Tree

                                                                 I Am a Mango Tree

                                                I wear a shady crown of greenish leaves
                                           That sing a sweet song with the gentle breeze
                                             Provide shade from the sizzling summer sun
                                                 With playful children staging ample fun,
                                               Birds free to pitch their nest oft and anon;

                                          After springtime bloom, mangoes start to grow,
                                              At outset, small with a green vibrant glow
                                               Ripened to reddish gold, hanging so low
                                           Youngsters and adults pick my fruits for free,
                                             The sweetest juicy treat, enjoyed with glee.

Andrea Dietrich October 5, 2025 at 11:49 AM I see a few people chose mango tree. I don't think they grow here. You described it with great imagery. Congratulations

Valsa George September 27, 2025 at 2:29 AM I too have written about a mango tree, the tree we the people of tropical countries love so much. I enjoyed the way you have presented the most popular tree with fruits of sweet juicy pulp. It is dear to us even when unripe. All the best dear Krish! Krishnanand Guptar September 28, 2025 at 9:06 AM As you are aware, mango leaves are sacred, used in most Hindu prayers. It wood are also used in prayers as well as for funerals..... Best wishes for your poem in this contest. Krishnanand Guptar September 28, 2025 at 9:03 AM Thank you Valsa for appreciating the above poem and for your kind wishes. It is a pity the contest limits the length of the poem, so much can be said about it. It adorns most yards in our country. Unripe, its fruits can be used for making salads or pickles.
