Mango

Mango

Poem

Far away,

Land never discovered,

Someday someone notices,

There were fruits still in waiting,

Not knowing what they’re called,

But knowing they are ready to be discovered,

Juicy and sweet,

Big and yellow,

Choosing what they shall be called,

Mango!!!

Inspiration, Mango Poem:

Mangoes are called king of fruits.  I love mangoes and these are the best thing associated with summers other than summer holidays.  This poem is about my favorite fruits.  In Cambodia, mangoes are available all around the year but somehow in Pakistan, these are only available in summers.  This is due to weather.  Cambodia is tropical country.  But the big difference is taste and variety.

Best mango variety of Cambodia is Keo Chen.  Whereas in Pakistan, we have several amazing taste like Langra, Chaunsa, Anwar Ratool….
