POEM STARTER

Write a descriptive poem which portrays a busy city.

You could use metaphors, imagery, and appeal to the senses, to really capture the feel of a city.

Tale As Old As town

The streets alike like New York City, buildings touching each other

Calling out for a taxi is a a little more harder to reach

Pathways and sidewalks the more you step on

People walking cruising the city

Running to work, running to school

It’s very energetic and people walk fast with adrenaline with each boost of coffee they drink

Restaurants, cafes and bakeries on every corner

High end places hidden and tucked away

So many stores to buy clothes and groceries

A busy city yet so quiet when we least expect

The night time peace the morning rush

The subways running all day long

On the weekends they change to buses

More people ride them and get lost with their directions

A pastime to walk along the bay

To visit neighbouring islands and to visit the tallest tower

A city known for being old and famous

A city I’ve known since I was 2

A city I was born in but don’t remember

But now I travel there more times than I can count

A city I call come because it was my first one

A city a town a street I know of

A city I was raised to learn to walk and talk in

A city I played and visited to grow my passion in

A city so busy with lots of people

A city that’s continuously growing and changing and moving
