Mango Pickle (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta
Itâs Summer!
The smell of delicious, sour,
Green mangoes fill the air.
Yes, the dark green mangoes
With the firm white flesh.
Wash âem, wipe âem,
Dice âem, salt âem,
A pickling we go!
Heat some oil, not
The coconut type
Probably mustard â
That will stay just right.
Drop in some chilly,
Turmeric, fenugreek,
A pinch of asafetida should do the trick.
Fold in the mangoes
Add some vinegarâ¦
Yeah! Thatâs right,
Our Mango Pickleâs here.
