I am amused that going for a walk can be such an adventure nowadays.
Much of the neighborhood participated, mailboxes decked out in ribbons and the
poems encased in ziploc bags.
I am bummed I didn't photograph of my favorite poem, named
Monday at Midnight. I memorized the title hoping to google it
when I got home. But alas! I can't find the poem anywhere.
It was about meeting up with a griffin for midnight flights. It was
fun.
There were other nifty things in addition to the poetry. I met a woman
planting all sorts of flowers who designed and created fairy villages.
This was at the end of her driveway. She had installed some at the
Leverett library and elementary school. I asked if she was the one who
designed
the tree stump I found last November, just a little ways from her house. Yes, she had! She planned to
update it soon, as it was trashed at some point over the winter.
One of the last stops not only had poetry, there was a painting and glass
container full of feathers. Underneath was a card that said "Take a
feather to feather your nest." So I did! Something to remind me of
a pleasant afternoon.
I love the poetry walk :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! Your neighborhood looks like a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful neighborhood you live in! I enjoyed reading this so much! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fabulous neighbourhood you live in, and such fun! How marvellous to walk along and read poetry and delight in all the other surprises as well. So perfect and uplifting for the times we live in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about the poetry walk. I also tried to google the poem, but used yahoo as a base to start searing on instead. I found 2 mentions of it, on 2 different poetry websites and a 3rd mention of it on a fan fiction site with a Harry Potter theme. It was an interesting read.
