HYPE
stark sunlight
the concrete sidewalk hot with
incentive to win
The Great Race circle
of players and fans hitch
their boats for display
no time to wallow
in despair; pounding the beat
calypso music
scatter the strain
of waiting anxiety
illuminate fun
striking a chord of neighbourhood gaiety

Love the flow of this, especially:
"scatter the strain
of waiting anxiety"
Thank you De; happy you stopped by
much love...
great energy!
I often think the names of the boats are more fun than watching them race, plus the atmosphere of course. However I can relate with the "sidewalk hot with incentive to win."
This must be fun time and can sense the excitement!! Nice boats displayed!!
indeed Mishla
