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
