PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Cities

By Catherine P.
Photo by Bert Kaufmann

Hundreds of cars pack the streets, Horns blaring,
Drivers screeching,
And tires squealing.

Enormous buildings tower above me,
Reaching for the stars,
Leaping for the moon,
Scraping the sky.

Photo by Clay Banks

Thousands of people press against me,
Chatting on cell phones,
Hailing taxis,
Lugging filled-to-the-brim shopping bags.

“There are hundreds of things to do in a city,”
my mother tells me.
“And millions already doing them,”
I retort.

TRY THIS

  • Write down anything this poem brings to mind for you.
  • Borrow any phrase or line, letting the line lead your thinking as you write.
  • Instead of the city, describe the country or some other location that holds significance for you.

TRY THIS

  • Describe the city or any other place that lets the reader know how much you like/dislike the place from the way you describe it.
  • There are often two points of view to any place. Try describing that same place you described from the opposite point of view.
