This week, poets at Poe Middle School in Ms. Agboola’s class wrote poems about Chicago. Here’s what they created.
What Chicago is Like

Chicago is
chaotic
It is
mostly sad
Popeyes
is good
chicken
and drinks
Burger King is
trash
They have
nuts there.

Chicago is like love
Love
Love
Love
Love is like magic
Magic

Magic is wonderful
Chicago is wonderful

Chicago is a place,
Chicago is my place.
In Chicago you see wannabe gang members.
People eating gizzys –
People carjacking.
Chicago is just another reckless city
But it’s my city
Chicago is where my family is,
Chicago is my favorite rapper be out.
There is a place where I be at,
where my home is at.
The place is Chicago;
Chicago is my place.
