The jam of guitars floods a moonlit trail Dizzy where tangy hyacinths delight… Folks prancing on rhumba beats to unveil My city agleam...near a harbor bright. Rithimus Divisa 9 Contest of Gregory R Barden Taken from the poem ' Pulse of Manila' Submitted 10/11/2020

Sounds like a great place Nette from your description, a wonderfully phrased poem. I know why Greg loves Manila, most of his music fans are from there, did you know he's working on a new song for his album called Filipina girl?

I can feel the soul of your city in your words, Nette - the guitars, fragrance of the hyacinth, the rhumba beat and the lights reflected in the water and in the action expressed in floods, dizzy, prancing, agleam. Congratulations on your well deserved win!
