Cityscapes by Steven Ko 5(F)

What can you see in a crowded city?

Skyscrapers standing, many people busy

Working hard; lots of traffic

Makes city life really hectic.

Parking lots, tram and bus stops,

Wailing children with lollipops.

The sky turns dark but no one knows

Ferries hum and lampposts glow.

Lights turn on as lasers flash

Cars run slow so they don’t crash.

All lights sparkle like silver and gold,

emeralds, rubies and jewels on show.

But when sunlight breaks through

The sleepy eyes of you

Newspaper ladies start stacking

And early risers go jogging

Birds tweet and cars go vroom.

Sellers shout, sites go boom.

Everybody is on the run

Another day has just begun.
