The City Child :

I live in a city

In a street;

It is crowded with traffic

And feet;

There are buses and motors

And trams.

I wish there were meadows

And lambs.

The houses all wait

In a row

There is smoke everywhere

That I go.

I don't like the noises

I hear

I wish there were woods

Last night, I saw the City breathing
Great Gusts of people,
Rushing in and
Puffing out
Of Station's singing mouths

Last night, I saw the City laughing,
Take-Aways got the giggles,
Cinemas split their sides,
And Living Rooms completely creased themselves!

Last night, I saw the City dancing.
Shadows were cheek to cheek with brick walls,
Trains wiggled their hips all over the place,
And the trees
in the breeze,
Put on a show for an audience of windows!

Last night, I saw the city starving,
Snaking Avenue smacked her lips
And swallowed seven roundabouts!
Fat office blocks got stuffed with light
And gloated over empty parking lots.

Last night, I saw the City crying.
Cracked windows poured falling stars
And the streets were paved with mirrors.

Last night, I saw the City sleeping
Roads night-dreamed,
Street Lamps quietly boasted,
'When I grow up, I'm going to be a star!'
And the Wind,
Like a cat,
Snoozed in the nooks of roofs.

There is a lot of people in the city. I like the big city. Everywhere I go, it looks and sounds interesting to me. There’s lots of places where you could wonder and play at. In the big city it is noisy and crowded but I like it because it is just our family members out there trying to make sure that we got everything we need and want. If you are in the woods than, how are you going to make sure that your family is okay?

I saw the city dancing last night because Christmas was almost there and they was also decorating houses and cities and I think that they are dancing because something they like blasting the music at night Christmas music and dancing to it and I like watching it it’s super fun to watch and I also don’t have to stop watching it until I have to go to bed but it is fun to watch.

Snowflakes fall around
Falls on the ground
Don’t even make a sound
It’s magical to me
Oh snow flakes
Snow flakes
Oh snow flakes
It’s magical to me...
