Mango and Guava

#1 Post by meenas17 » 25 Mar 2014, 06:26

The mango tree is fluttering cheerfully in the garden.

The guava tree stands solemnly grim with a heavy burden.

A whiff of air blows all of a sudden.

The trees dangle vigorously with fruits heavily laden.

The fall of little mangoes makes the heart sadden.

The ripe yellow guavas come down in dozens.

The mango and guava are a subtle reference

indicating the world's impermanence .

Hi meenas17

w/out the last 2 lines; and workshop illustrated for your persusal & consideration   8)   Michael (MV)


The mango tree flutters cheerfully in the garden..
The guava tree stands grim with a heavy burden.
A whiff of air, and the limbs dangle
vigorously heavily laden with produce.
The fall of little mangoes sags the heart.
The ripe yellow guavas come down in groves.

To me your poem brought back to my memory our life in the tropics, living on the equator and our garden full of mango and quava trees and I remember the thuds that seems to go on all night long. So your poem worked it elicitated a response in me. I thak you for that, the poem needs a lot of work, over-telling is a problem for you.

I have adopted what Michael has done it for me.
