Love Poem: Notting Hill Carnival

Notting Hill Carnival

colourful Flags of the Caribbean 
Flood Londons streets,
Vibrations from the sound systems  
as they play their reggae beats

smells of curry goat,
and barbecued jerk chicken 
Fill the the air,
While men and women are whining with feathers in their hair

Everyone’s United 
dancing and chanting loudly,
Sipping from cups of homemade sorrel,
displaying their cultures proudly.
