Where Is This Exhibition? Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Where Is This Exhibition?

Rating: 5.0


One big red pulpy mango caught my attention,
As it was displayed very well in exhibition
It's beauty was alluring and
Mouth watering one,
Surprisingly, that caught attention of many.

I just went to see its price quoted.
Seeing its unusual cost perspired me well.
Surprisingly, many buyers crowded it.
Arguments increased,
Finally it was laid for auction,
Bidding went on one by one.
It's price went on increasing.
Finally, It went to the hand of the highest bidder.

It just left me just wondered
Why the cost was so much high
I asked the one who was its creator.
He said he planted many mango saplings
But all the plants died one by one
Except only this one left behind
Surprisingly this turned out to be the attractive one than others
So I quoted the price that I spend for all the plants
So the price was high.

He said you are the first one to ask me this question.
No one ever asked me why the price was so high.

Now to own this one
Became the prestigious issue of many
So it went on bidding higher!

This exhibition was held on my imagination
Don't ask me where was this exhibition
Don't ever think of going to such unusual exhibition
Don't ever sue me for coming out with such poem
Well just for fun I made this one
You are free to thrash me only with wonderful comments!
Ha...Ha..Ha...
Thank you for reading this one!

I think it was the vanity of the people which let the mango price skyrocket. Anyway a good reminder that we should not lose sight of the reality.

This one can be interpreted in many ways though I would like to stick to one as life's calculation of certain things as precious as ever.......to be exactly priceless, hence the highest bidding............Geetha......well composed........

A very good question with brilliant answer. This poem contains multi aspect for loss or gain of our life and closing balance is zero. way back i read a poem 'what i gave that i got what i saved that is lost. Life ends with the same conclusion. Thank you for sharing and regards.
