I love mangoes, well I love good ones so much so I have written two poems about them one is a triolet and the other free verse and were inspired after I had eaten a Pakistani Honey Mango. Well the new ones are Kesar mangoes from the Gujarat, India.
I bought them in the same shop that sells the Honey mangoes I buy later June/July when they are in season.
It is just about the end of the season for these mangoes but they are still delicious with an exciting, quite sophisticated flavour. Not quite the robust blast of pleasure of Honey Mangoes but lovely to eat. Get them whilst you can I say!
I have retrieved my Mango Poem and post it below. The triolet I hope to record with my guitar as I have a simple composition that suits it so I will save it for later and post it on Soundcloud.
It’s mango season here in India! I’d highly recommend the Alphonso variety from my part of the world! Juicy, sweet, luscious… Enjoy!
I have not yet tried the Alphonso variety but will look out for them.
Do that, you won’t regret it!
