Chicago Poem

By Hector

Chicago good and bad

All my memories I have

Going to the parks,

And going to the library

 

Feeling Good in the City

By Aliyah

Good city in the summer

Smelling fresh in the air

It’s all so fair

I’m feeling good

Like everyone should

I eat ice cream

Then see the Big Bean

 

Clean City

By Angelou

City of Chicago

You break my heart

Why do people have to litter

 

At least your parks are beautiful

And that will never change ever

 

I don’t like the factories that pollute

My, my, I love the schools

And I hope you do too
