“City” poem for 8th grade?
We're writing a class assignment about poems soon, and we have to interpret them. We've already worked on the following poems: "The City," "City People," and "Berlin 1." Do you know of any similar poems that could be included, or have you already written an assignment on this topic?
I’m glad you listed some poems. Then you know about what’s in question. There is a page on which many poems are listed that like to be made in class. Maybe there’s something you feel as fitting and if you’re lucky enough, it’ll even happen. In any case a lot
