Mango Tango

it might as well be my birthday as i hold nature’s gift in my hand i pause to caress it before i indulge its form shapely its skin fresh and smooth there’s nothing like it to ignite all my senses i gently cut into the skin and each time is a joy as the fruit reveals its rich deep amber color and its lush ripeness oozes with juices a delectable feast for my eyes that smells absolutely divine the mango belongs on a pedestal because i swoon with delight when this fruit touches my lips AP: 1st place 2021, 2nd place 2022, 2nd place 2020, Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021, Honorable Mention 2022 Posted on November 22, 2019

This poem is sheer delight, Line! The imagery is very vividly lovely, and I might almost say delicious, because I am all but tasting that mango! :)

A mango on a pedestal! And I thought it was a flower at first. You have mastered the concrete form, my friend!

So it should be. All I have my mango with is a good sharp knife. LOL
