mango


green skin holds a dream
sweet flesh hides a large, flat seed -
golden juice now drips

Now I'm completely unsure about young vs. old, somethings got me confused that I can't name; maybe your ability to pen matured depth. This is a good one, only lacks a 'kicker' 3rd line and many here forget about that. The haiku is supposed to take a sudden diverse turn on 3rd line, i.e., 'it fell on the floor' (5 syll top of me head)...CayCay

Yeah Mango, it's color can be green or yellow, I think it has hair think about it right? The flavors can be sweet n sour and sometimes bitter if u mistakenly bit its flat seed. I'm just getting ideas on what kinds of poems I should write kase I'm into Eternal God so I'm just looking at your collections of titles. Can I copy some? lol
