Poems In April ~ Taking It To The Streets


OK Toads we are going to take our poetry to the streets. When I was in San Juan Puerto Rico last year I saw this young lady writing poetry. For a small fee she would write a poem for you on a typewriter she held on her lap. Sadly I didn't get a chance to have her write one for me, but the image of her sitting on that cobblestone street has remained with me. I wondered what I could write on the spur of the moment for a total stranger.


So the challenge is to write a street poem. What would you like to leave on the concrete, the wall, a light post, a picnic table, in a cafe, a grocery store, etc. for someone to find? It could be a bit of wisdom, hope, encouragement, or something to bring a smile. 

Please write an original poem specific to this challenge and post it on the Mr. Linky provided below.
