Raised by Taiwan

I was raised by
Loud laughing
Spice smelling
Sky so pretty you just want
to stay and keep admiring
"Let's smile, cause I don't understand"
Type of Country

Rushing to place to place
Cramped bus riding
Not enough time to see and
look at everything
"Come one we're gonna be late"
Kind of Country

Vendor to vendor
Black sky, bright lanterns
Price arguing
Money Saving
Proud crowds
Moving
"Hurry we, have to buy that"
Sorta Country

Some manner keeping
Have your head bowing
Said the wrong thing
has to quickly sort it out
"Apologize now"
Type of Taiwan

House cleaning
Garbage picking
Keep it clean
I'm trying and I'm working
Mother watching
"You can do better than that"
Kind of Taiwan

Honey voicing
Sweet talking
"Yes buy this item
it is so much better than
the others"
Sorta Taiwan

Tallest building
Beautiful singing
Book reading
"See you in math class"
Hard studying
Don't bother me, I'm working
Type of Home

I was raised by Taiwan



j.h.

Oh my! I adore this. Fabulous. My only note is perhaps keeping the word country throughout each stanza since the name of the country is in the title. This is insightful,
