A Cripple Ant Near A Mango Tree

Rating: 5.0


I have heard about the tasty fruit when it ripens
and the legend says lightning won't peep to your premises
if you grow a mango tree in your yard,
But I am very unhappy as I cannot climb on my neighbour's tree.

* I humbly dedicate this poem to the authoress of the novel 'The House on Mango street' written by Sandra.Cisneros.

An unusual coupling - the tiny ant and the sensuous mango with its magical properties. Your poem impels the reader to check out the book that inspired it. Another unique poem with a tantalizing fey quality. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

You seem to have empathy with small helpless creatures. Praise for your sympathetic heart. I have not read this book which seems to have made such a great impression on you. Take care. Always your friend, Sandra
