U. T. M. T. (Under The Mango Tree) Poem by Jazlle D. H. **contentment is the key to happiness
U. T. M. T. (Under The Mango Tree)
For more than a century standing still
A silent viewer for thousands of people
that come and go
A simple place that reminds of
our unforgettable memories
The cheers whenever were done
with our Algebra or Physics problems
The applaud on our perfect chemical combination
The excitement on scientific names
and dissected species on our Biology subject
The crazy talk during our free time
The serious discussion with our thesis
The loud laughter whenever we pass exams
The stream of tears whenever we fail and broken hearted
The joy waiting for our graduation ceremony
The shade covering us from the sun
The enticing sounds of leaves blown by the wind
All these happened Under The Mango Tree…
Our quiet witness...

A great last line in this poem. 'Quiet witness' is one of those rare choices of words that can reflect the entire poem. I loved it.
Awesome title, even better poem, these are references to your significant life experiences seen through a Mango Tree, this is one of my favourites Joan, crackin work!
Indeed those mango trees are the silent witnesses to the failures and triumphs of those who used its shade for solace and comfort! I also wrote about mango, check it if you have time. Regards. What is your job in Saudi?
Really enjoyed that, great content and warming to the heart, Keep writting and I'll keep reading regards Chris 10
