Quandary
Quandary


Under the mango tree
Sat to write poetry
Rains came down
Without any warning
Ripe mangoes landed
All around me.
Shades of yellow, green,
So tempting, my fingers
Wanted to pick and eat
But that would mean
Stopping what I was doing
And if I let that moment pass
Words would surely escape me
I would be left with mango
Juice dripping, a filled tummy
But brain scraped off
Of thoughts like a mango seed
Left in a quandary whether
To write or eat...unhurried!
