I awake every morning
To the sound of the Bike men(okada riders).
Riding along my crib
Men and Women already awake
Ready to hit the street.
There goes the Children
Uniforms so different
Day and boarding Students
Right behind my crescent.
The shops already opening
Time to do some shopping
A loaf of bread and coffee
with creamy chocolate toffee.
There goes the little lad, Gabriel,
Good morning ma, He shouted
In my “not so serene”but cool neighbourhood.

Your poem was tasty! I couldn’t think of a better adjective than that! It made me want to visit, to taste all the things you mentioned, and to breathe that air. Where is it? Or is it to be a mystery to us?
