City Of Landscape
Leaves flowing in the sky
People wondering if the skies are blue and the sun is shiny bright
Knowing that their pets are safe and that their children are playing in delight
Discovering a beautiful new place giving nature a great day and night
Having a fantastic trip with the family around a discovered new place
Maybe darkens wins our happiness
Though the beautiful happiness always comes back in the most charming way

1) The towers of Chicago are big as the sky .
2) The twin towers in NEW YORK were twin as brothers.
3)The towers I see are nice.
4)The towers I saw convinced me to make one.
5)The tower I made in 02/13/08 looked like !@#$%^&*() to tell you the truth.
6)The only tower I haven’t seen is Eiffel tower.

This city is full of
Knowledge.
Because we have
Lots of museums with

So that is why it’s a

These poems were inspired after reading “Las mamás con bebé” (“Mothers With a Baby”) by Guadalupe Morfín. I asked the students to write about another figure with a situation, and what they need to help them.
Mayors Running Big Cities
by Juan C., age 11
Mayors are good like apple pie
But not as good with laws
And stop being good as pie
And be bad as smelly socks
Make some rules and then be good
As much as they want.
They should put laws like
Stop killing or if not they would
Arrest them for many years
Keep lakes clean & streets; forest and more

Fathers when they miss their father
by Marisol D.
Fathers when are sad need
someone to console them.
When they miss a relative
is when they need
a picture of him.
When God takes him they need a
fairy to let him come back.
Fathers need a big question mark to
ask themselves why God took him.
They need
a little of magic,
a airplane to go to the top
and try to talk with him.
Too bad it can’t become real
