 Isis's Poem

I am the Tenth Street Bridge, also a suspension bridge.
My dinosaurs are made from graffiti and are spray painted on me.
My wire cables are made of steel.
It hurts when cars and people walk or drive on me.

 Terri's Poem

I am a church who
welcomes you in
with my stained glass windows that glisten
and bells that ring in the wind
as we welcome you in.

 Martel's Poem

I am a 95-year-old Maul Building
that feels unwanted
like a building
that has to crash down
from oldness.

 Dominick's Poem

I am a brick window with a keystone
that makes my arch so strong.
Cement-like mortar holds my yellow bricks together.

 Raikera's Poem

I am an anchor plate
made of iron.
You can see me on many buildings
on the South Side.
I help the building stand so
people can go in and out.

 Ashley's Poem

I am the Library, tall and strong.
I welcome people with my sign.
I am over 100 years old.
I am a peaceful person
And you can come check books out too.
This is the reason why
I am a Library.

 Chardonney's Poem

I am 124 years old
And I'm made out of bricks and stone.
I do not know who my architect is
But I know who built me: Elias Kauffeld,
OK.

 Vincent's Poem

The seal looks really cool.
It is the seal of Pittsburgh.
The seal has three eagles on it.
The three eagles represent quarters.
It has a castle up on top of it.
The seal is on a building built in 1939.
It is 64 years old.

I am the seal of Pittsburgh and people respect me.

 James's Poem

There are lions on me.
They protect me.
The lions have eyes so they can see any robbers
And try to protect me.
