A mango tree

ReplyDeleteenjoying the sweet shade instead.. :) wonderfully expressed, about the diet restriction and the pleasure of tree shade in summer
that was such a sweet feeling so beautifully expressed... :)
ReplyDeleteAwww... poor you! Sweet Haiku... Very sweet... As sweet as the mangoes you cant have!! :P Just kidding...
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ... while reading this haiku, the only person in my mind is my dad ... lovely sir ... i will make him read this haiku :) thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThats real cute..
ReplyDeleteAww... I feel like having mangoes!!!
Very nice, all except for the fact that you must miss the mangoes. :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful compromise you make. Isn't that what life is all about? If we lose one pleasure we can produce one that works for us. Enjoy the shade :-) Lovely haiku.
ReplyDeleteI too miss the sweet taste of mango...I least you enjoy the sweet shade ~

ReplyDeleteA Glimpse of Summer
These were delightful to read - perhaps a little bittersweet, but a nice look at making lemonade out of lemons (or mangoes).
