We are going to read a poem today called City. As we read the poem I want for you to look for two things. First, I want you to listen for things that describe a city. Next, I want you to see if you hear any musical words in the poem (words like song, and sings).
City
In the morning the city
Spreads its wings
Making a song
In stone that sings.
In the evening the city
Goes to bed
Hanging lights
About its head.
