    Mangoes on my mind

    It is February, things have gone awry
    A wet month preceding March so dry
    The air is cool, the breeze does not freeze
    For this month be ready to wheeze and sneeze

    The mangoes bloom everywhere
    Altogether the blooms scent the air
    Spikes reach out to the sky
    But look at the birds that fly -
    They peck and prick with their bills
    Where the mangoes are- valleys and hills!

    I look up and see the blossoms so happy
    As I imagine the golden fruits from the green
    Warm, moist, sweet and pulpy
    Divine fruit, you can't resist even if you're queen.

    Golden fruits I love to eat,warm or cold
    Each bite is precious, in my mouth I hold
    Long enough to savor the sensual flavor
    Unique, my tongue tastes with candor and ardor.

    Yumyum! I long for the mangoes described in this poem!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
