WISHING ALL POETS OF THE CARIBBEAN A HAPPY NATIONAL POETRY DAY...

Plant
a seed
watch it grow
with stem and branch
waiting for the leaves and flowers and fruits.
In my hand is a ripe, juicy mango
a big tree now
I admire
growing
up.

Leonard, thanks for visiting the site and for your comment. I love your poem! I have been doing a bit of gardening lately, so it is a timely poem. Also, in the metaphorical sense, your poem is encouraging us to invest in planting, putting down roots, and eventually enjoying our successes. Wishing you fruitful writing for the future!
