THE TASTE OF MANGOES AT SUNSET
ripe mangoes
so many in a basket
on the sidewalk
to buy some is tantamount
to repast of sweet joys
is it worth the wait
standing in a queue waiting
a turn to receive
a bounty of fruit unblemished
maybe i should plant a seed
length of days to harvest
enough sunshine to warm hearts
slumped beneath caring
like a horizon divides
daisy petals under trust
see where love leads
now that noontime wonders if
the sunset will
warm sleepy trysts agendas
or vibrant flavours to tease
was it not a team
of you and i selecting
which suit us best
fit our basket for tastes that
we should take some home

I usually have mango, apple and yoghurt with hazelnuts for breakfast, but I could easily change to mangoes at sunset after reading your tanka series, Gillena! Is it possible to mix mango juice with rum punch?
Trinis like rum lime and bitters. I have had in St Georges Grenada a rum punch with rum guava and mangoes
Happy i sparked your interest, Kim

Yummy ... in all sorts of ways.
Love mangoes, just do not buy them often. Thanks for your visit.
this is lovely Gillena - delicious and light, and had me teased by the prospect - I really enjoy mangoes - they are just so peculiar a taste, but oh, wonderful :)
and a rum punch drink would be just so perfect right about now, in our dog days of summer!
I really enjoyed your tanka suite and haiku - refreshing!

Beautifully crafted tanka suite Gillena, and that "summer cocktail" is a beauty.
