CARL SANDBURG WRITES “CHICAGO”
Being with you
by Jallene Pineda
Being with you is always so soothing,
Every time I go to you, I see you and
Notice something new. Although, you sometimes
Smell like someone that hasn’t
Showered in days, I still enjoy your company.
The way you talk to me is as
Gentle as the water hitting the
Shore on a sunny day and I just go with the motion
Of the ocean. However, I get jealous
That so many people want to be with you.
But I don’t blame them. You’re filled
With different attitudes and personalities.
Some days you’re extremely quiet, like
A bunny…and other days you’re as
Loud as a hungry lion asking for more
Food. I just thought I should let you know how I
Feel about you. See ya’ on a warm summer day!
