The Glowing City Poem by Vinaya Joseph

In Kochi's embrace, where backwaters flow,
Among coconut palms that sway, the city's glow.
In every corner, history whispers its tale,
Of traders, cultures, and ships setting sail.

Through bustling streets and markets alive,
A tapestry of flavors, where spices thrive.
From Fort Kochi's shores to the Chinese nets' sway,
Each sight and sound paints a vibrant display.

Where colonial remnants blend with modern grace,
In Kochi's heart, tradition finds its place.
From the echoes of Kathakali's ancient dance,
To the aroma of fresh chai, a sweet romance.

O Kochi, city of dreams and delight,
In your embrace, memories take flight.
Forever cherished, your spirit rings true,
In every sunrise, in every hue.
