WRITING OBSTACLE

Inspired by Cavavaff

Write a description of a character who was raised in a city and loves busy city life.

How does this come through in their personality traits?

I Love the City!

Oh, how I love the city

With all the lights out

The city is full of people

Busy with whatever they’re doing


Just like me

Going to their job as such

I’m going to work right now, actually

Wearing my suit, my tie, looking formal


I’m going to court

I have to solve a case

To prove this man is innocent

To prove that he did not steal from a bank


I’m walkin’ here

On this fine sidewalk

Swinging my arms so happily

While holding a big suitcase


Full of my papers, my evidence

I tried to be careful, though

Trying not to bump anyone

Or get in their way


Which is quite hard

Since it can be so crowded

With people going by

With birds stopping by


I had to move around constantly

I had to slither through

I had to lower myself

I had to go on my tippy-toes


Thankfully, I got out

Out from the very crowded sidewalk

Now on the crosswalk

Seeing all the cars, buses, taxis, and motorcycles stop


All honking and revving up

Revving up their engines

Getting ready to go

I instantly walked off the crosswalk


As I got on the other sidewalk

All the automobiles immediately went off

All speeding off wherever

I walked up to the court, which was surprisingly near


I walked up the steps

Thinking about how I would win the case

Thanks to my open mind, open heart

Positive attitude and strong work ethic


From being in such a lovely place

For any young girl, like me, and any young boy to grow up in

Oh, why, yes!

I love the city!
