Savour The Fruit Of The Season Poem by Gita Ashok

The Mango – in its myriad varieties,
the King of all fruits,
packed with loads of beta carotene
cannot be more tempting.

Admire its golden yellow colour,
bring out its complete reality
in a still-life water colour painting.
Thank Mother Nature for this bounty.

Take in the aroma –
bite into it gently
or cut it into bite-size pieces
and indulge your taste buds…

Taste the sweetness
or the sourness…
Feel the lovely lusciousness,
pamper your impatient palate!

Bask in the glory of its flavor,
relive the texture, relive the taste.
Savour the fruit of the season
before you realize it’s too late.
