I Enjoy a Sweet Shade..

It is summer
and lo, no mangoes for me;

I sit happily under
a mango tree

A mango tree
and I enjoy a sweet shade;
it is summer

  7. What 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.

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