The poem I created:

What is Vancouver?

Vancouver is a place everyone loves to visit

A place that has phenomenal scenery and views of the city

A place where you can enjoy the sunshine during the summer

A place where we have great sport teams to cheer on

A place where bikes and roller blades are commonplace

A place that invites multiculturalism

A place where you see waves crashing onto the sandy beaches

A place that offers many unique restaurant choices

A place where you hear the wind moving swiftly in the night

A place where you can play sports on the smooth grassy fields

A place where you see the morning sunrise

And a place where you see the beautiful blue sky

Vancouver is a place you call home

A Hockey Game

Hockey is like a roller coaster
which has its emotional highs and lows
like surfing on a tidal wave
like losing your true love
like being stung by a bee, like being struck by a
lightning bolt, like being defeated in a war.
a roar from a crowd
a flying puck jetting through the air
a zebra tramples over enemies
like a battle between gladiators,
like shooting your arrow and finding its mark
like sirens from a fire truck
a soaring eagle attacking its prey, a fish flowing
up the current
like "The Streets Have No Name"
like burger and fries
a bond fire on a beach, like eating ice cream
on a hot sunny day, like being at
a movie munching on popcorn, like going
to the PNE and awaiting your very
first roller coaster ride to happen and
anticipating for the excitement and thrill of it
like eating mini donuts at the fair
like pigs rolling around in the mud
like a flash mob in the mall
and a knight ready for battle, like protestors rioting
in the city, like gum stuck to your pants
like twenty men walking out of the locker room
like tripping, slashing, hooking and unsportsmanlike
conduct is like a war zone on ice
like winning the lottery
and the best game ever in the world

       

   Friendships (Poem style of William Carlos Williams)

so much depends 

upon

having a good

friend

supporting during hard

times

creating lasting memories

together
