The Window By The Mango Tree

There was a window by the mango tree,  
facing west, where sunlight spilled like secrets.  

That’s where I waited,  
where I last saw you—  
not waving, just walking.

The curtains danced even when the wind was still.  
They remembered your scent  
better than I did.

I tried to forget the taste of afternoons  
without your laugh in the hallway.  
Tried to unhear the sound  
of your

Ode To a Mango Tree

Mango tree,
Lovely and beautiful,
As a salsa lady,
You are exotic,
And tropical splendors,
Your leathery sultry petals,
With fine and rare warmth,
Dress the body,
Of your surreal canopy,
In the enchanted wind,
Like a salsa lady,
The curves of your fruits,
Are like brilliant,
orange moons,,
And they blush,
With love,
red as roses,
By deep kisses,
Of moon and sun,
Resplendently,
Upon your sweet,
Boughs,
That bow,
And sway,,
Sway and bow,
With a harvest,
Of kindness,
And

Away Up a Mango Tree

Away up a mango tree, no signal below 
The bee on the fruit is like my fellow 
The sky is so dark but I simply don't care 
For writing my poem can make my day fair 

Away up a mango tree, writing my poem 
For my poetry's like my precious gem 
I simply just don't

Premium MemberIn the Shade of Her Mango Tree

Sally was playing in her backyard…chasing butterflies and bees
when she decided to rest a while in the shade of her mango tree.

“Thank you for the shade.” She said. “It’s nice to get out of the heat.”
“You’re welcome.” The mango tree smiled. “Would you like one of my mangoes to eat?”

“Yes, please.” Sally answered politely. “What

On Top of a Mango Tree

Upon a hill, on top of a mango tree
There I wrote my poetry 
Under the scorching sun that pierces the leaves
Trying to dig the thoughts under my sleeves

Sky was blue and wind was high 
All around, the wild bees fly 
The birds sang a melody 
Like a sublime rhapsody

Premium MemberUnder the Mango Tree

By my red tiled house stands a mango tree
Beneath it I cherish my treasured memories
Where cows merrily roam and cattle graze
As morning sky scintillates in marigold rays
Face of innocent days I spent in tiny village
Amid rice fields gracing serene landscapes
Watching crops grow from seeds to harvests
Playing game of cricket and idling in silliness
From dawn till

A Mango Tree In Brooklyn
 
A mango is not only a fruit it’s an island
An image of memories, it organic taste
This represents the first bite to the last:
Tracing back to its originality, 
Tropical warmth, which smooths the lips
The sweet, succulent taste is noticeable:

Somehow, the roots refuse to grow
In Brooklyn, amount the sandy earth
Where the suffering

Who’ll taste it first  before it ripes and fall

Under the Mango Tree

I ask for answers to my problem around midday, carpenters nailing tables beyond their voices. Thinkers building fence of gold, wiping the devil under the shadow of death. Callers piecing information together to make me who I am today, you cannot run from destiny to destructors. 

I catapult near avocado to advocate for the poor

Little Boy's Mango Tree

My garden is full of colorful flowers
The fragrance they unfurl cleans our soul 
They do not need the rain showers
We happily feed the plant,since it's our ultimate goal.

Humming birds are the regular visitors
They intimate their presence by their beautiful tone
In the midst of the garden,we affixed a bird feeder 
It helps to feed the birds,even

~Mango Tree~
(Mirrored Tanka)


Mango falls from tree
Ripe, delicious and so sweet
Mango tree so tall
It gives such a tasty fruit
Mango drops near top of head
Mango drops near top of head
It gives such a tasty fruit
Mango tree so tall
Ripe, delicious and so sweet
Mango falls from tree

The Mango Tree

The Mango tree

She was waiting for me  where I chose to
build a house   and set up my family. 
She too grew up,  but on her own. Sheltered  
my house from the  sun and  extended her  
sweetness every time for free.  Now, a 
grandma, her limbs are

Under the Mango Tree

Squinted eyes,
Squinted hard at the hill top, 
Far, far, up on the hill top
A tiny shadow
Couldn’t wait
Wanted to jump and run but
Slowly stepped down
Stepped down the bus
Squinted at the shadow
A faint figure,
A figure of a massive tree 
My tree, our tree, our mango tree
Standing high and massive, like a giant
Fifty five years…
Fifty five years inside
