Wow! mangoes! they drive me crazy. Luv em.... and love those lines too
Hmm I know how people might hunt for the last mango of the season! ! Thank you mam.
Mangoes are very good, indeed, but their best savour can be tasted where they grow.. just taken from the tree.. - unfortunately, not in Italy.. thanks for sharing, Shreej
We are fortunate in that matter! We get to see mangoes at their best and now with the recent earthquake and these aftershocks we can even enjoy mango shakes: -p thank you for your nice comment sir :)
I love mangos and I love this poem. Just returned to the U.S.A. after spending twenty months in Brazil. As Fabrizio said, they are best when they come ripe straight from the tree. We enjoyed them there year round. I even wrote a poem about them called Monkeys and Mangos. They are mentioned in a couple of my other poems also.
Thank you for your nice words..'Monkeys and Mangoes' reminded me of this off season fruit! We don't get them fresh at this time of year here in Nepal.
