Answer:
1.
A City so Alive, a Town of Pride
Towers to the sky and streets with ride
From winding alleys to sandy shores
The city moves on from door to door
In this place of hope, we'll never tire
We look out for one another as if we were all part of a choir
Cars rush by, merchants make sales
Parks overflow with families who come in droves
Fountains forth
Lovers roam these streets with joy profound
A City so alive, no matter where you go
A town that welcomes everyone, it's easy to know
Gather round my friends and let us share our pride
For this is our beloved city, full of life far and wide.
2.
Eyes Bright, Mind Alight
My trusty pencil brings me delight
On paper I sketch wondrous scenes
Rescuing time when thoughts are mean
Visions manifested through graphite lines
Inspiration abounds through lead so fine
Withered wood encased in eraser sheen
Telling stories that can not be seen
3.
My city's stories can't be seen,
A picture of them in my mind.
I take out my trusty pencil,
The lead is sharp and so fine.
With each stroke I'm inspired,
Withered wood encased in eraser sheen.
Sketching dreams that once were dreams,
Giving life to sights unseen.
Eyes bright and mind alight,
Mapping the streets in graphite lines.
Memories come to life on paper,
Rescuing time when thoughts decline.
From far and wide they gather round,
Crowds huddled at this new found sound.
My pencil has brought such delight,
Telling stories not visible in sight.
