Wisconsin Virtual Learning student shares her favorite place through poetry in Ms. Yoder's English class

The Windy City

By Marina, 12th Grade WVL Student

Bright lights, yellow taxi cabs, heels clicking, shoppers shopping,

How could I ever leave you?

The noise of the horns and the presence of so many people, Chicago. With its beautiful buildings that reach for the heavens.

Your Magnificent Mile that stretches farther than my mind can fathom.

Never tasted a treat so sweet until I let my feet sweep themselves into one of the many places of “Chicago's Famous Popcorn.”

Only thing blown out of the windy city is my mind,

captivated by the beautiful Marilyn Monroe in all her pompous elegance.

As I depart, your imagery still lives within me.

Your commotion feeds my soul it's much needed excitement.

While your aesthetic architecture raises the crease in between my lips.

Knowing as I look back, one day I shall return.
