under
lush green
canopy of
rainforest,
mango man
can tango, man,
with
orangutan
rhythms,
strutting his
burlap suit
and faux
gorilla
slippers.

Inspired by mask photography of Phyllis Galembo and Anthony Desmond’s prompt at d’Verse. My son chose this photo (from my 3 favs) and dubbed it “mango man” so i went with it…

Oh, I really like what you did with that picture. (I used the same one.) I enjoyed the light-hearted approach. Your words, and the picture you created in your poem, made me smile.
