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.

My Home 🏡💕

Before, we lived in the country side

Where the only sound I heard was the wind

And red birds flew above my head

And I slept in a hay hump

Underneath the glowing stars

But then my parents told me they hated it here

And packed our bags

We drove through so many states

Images of the countryside slowly fading away

Now I stand outside our new house and see

An array of cars lined up down the whole road

Honking, praying that they’ll be out of this line soon

People are in every direction I look

Screaming, chatting, throwing trash on the ground

Like a selfish herd of penguins

But when I went on a walk

A nice man offered me a bracelet

With goldenn jewels and silver beads

And as I walked past the chattering kids in the blue playground

A little girl asked me to play with her

We played until the sun went down

On my walk back home

I saw the sun dipping behind

These beautiful tall buildings with glistening windows

And people laughing and talking in restaurants

This place was finally starting to become my home
