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.
The city
the city feeling
hits as the subway throws off passengers
a complete wonder of being a foreigner
coming empty handed but a mind buzzing
with aspirations and miles to go
and places to see where ideas flourish
where each passerby is their own
secrets and histories mended into millions
each insignifcant to one another
stilll intertwined with one common feature
the agency, the dreams, the hope
cars scurry past carying heavy importance
men in suits rush past
clenched jaws promising dignity
skyscrapers reaching for the stars
containing the work of future figures
the air containing a freshness
of cafes, resturants and smoke
buzzing noises with nuances of each life
mending together into one true song
one melody the city sings all year round
the song of the citys everlasting life
