 * __//An Ode to Greene Towne//__**

Open the door. Welcome to Greene Towne! Please Sign In; In pen; I mark 1:20 Walking upstairs; Green and Yellow fill the walls. Laughter and Play swept the building. Smiles were permanent markers; Colors filled hallways, where mats were laid for activities A Name on every cubby and tag. In the room where, inspiration and learning begins; A place where you took a trip back to naps and glue. A little boy approaches you, He speaks a voice so light and squeaky He speaks “Can you read a book with me” Chapter by chapter, new words and some old, You stop suddenly the child goes to grab his things, He is leaving. I stay, to find another child, a girl Who is working; diligently in a corner. She is coloring the continents. I Indian style sit, on the colorful map. She looks at me, and then continues. A blonde hair teacher claps and all the children crowd in a circle. I look at the clock it reads 3:00. It’s time to leave. I sign out 3:00 in pen. As I walk out the door. I think to myself; Until next time Greene Towne.


 * //Catch The Spirit of Baltimore//**

Baltimore is a place where water is key, But the beauty is also in the buildings. Baltimore is much more than water, Its fun and exciting, like cat and ball of yarn.

The sight of the flashing lights in the ESPN Center, It’s unbearable, and breath taking. Boardwalk is the most exciting; it’s the icing on the cake. The water surrounds the boardwalk; and adds a perfect touch to the water that surrounds.

The saltwater taffy scattered throughout the city in colorful stores. The taste of it, gave a rush of Baltimore sensation. The chocolate ice cream coated my tongue; delicious and tasty But suddenly, my arm swung then the ice cream dripped onto my pink shirt.

The sight of people; animals everywhere. It seemed as though colors were blended like a kaleidoscope. Faces of culture and color. Dolphins swam in a clear sky blue, that Left in the faces of people in amazement.

Night arrived, cold and cloudy. It became deserted; like a desert. It began to rain; drop by drop. It was time to go; yet it was Baltimore.
