This sunset of peach crowns the bay, aglow While Manila lies in tropical bliss This region bustling with tunes as nights flow Along street cafes where friends reminisce. 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. Modern yet quaint, this scene is my life’s art Afloat like an isle of eclectic flair, Robed in temples,parks of inner child’s heart For this dwelling charms with beauty to share. In my abode of pearled Oriental grains, Manila pulsates in festive refrains. Where Are You From Contest Sponsor: Joseph Soper * Manila ( Philippines)
