Grace - Atmosphere

It’s an atmosphere that comes from the feeling in the air 
The constant heat and humidity that makes your hair frizz,
It’s the over-powering of rich foods from all the unique restaurantsthat make your stomach full, but happy 
The upbeat music that is so loud your eyes will hurt butkeeps you moving on the dance floor or in the streets 
It’s the over-population that makes one feel claustrophobicyet makes you have fun 
Welcome to the New Orleans lively atmosphere.  



Grace, age 16
