In the rumbles of this Lagos town,
A whirlwind of dust set on
the bumpy reminiscence of covered potholes.
Great nimbostratus rides gallantly
slowly conquering the light blue sky
droplets of water said it all; rain.

The roadside mal-lam looks on,
as the ghetto mother lines out the buckets,
and runs helter-skelter with half dried clothes.
Wet; I walk slowly and observe.
I see the ugly looking road,
forcefully transforming into a river bed.

Nice work with good imagery. Well done. You need to change mal-lam to mallam and it needs to be italicised, I believe.
