Yellow Mango

Ripe mango. Succulent mango How bright your yellow glows Sweet mango up on the tree hang How sweet you'd be on my tongue I wish i were a monkey I'd climb up and pluck thee Lucky you, my dear mango that no wind blows and my breath can't do what does the wind too If my words could turn into stone hurled at you, you'd be my own Man go O man go Your name spells so Never will i heed that Your root shall be my mat Untill a merciful wind ride on the wing of time

This is such a beautiful ode to mangoes which are my favorite fruits. I can eat mangoes all day long and I miss the wonderful mango trees which grew in my yard. I wrote a haiku called "Ripe Mangoes." Thank you for sharing this gem. Now I am getting very nostalgic - lol! Great write! Pandita
