An unpopular point of view

 
Poetry bombing in the supermarket

and again in the bananas

Street Art

 

Though sometimes called monstrosity,

p o e t r y   b o m b i n g   and g r a ff I t i

are expressions of frustration

at mainstream pomposity

hypocrisy, dishonesty

and all the other osities;

a way of exploration

without remuneration

in what is called street art,

vulgar and freaky

cheeky, sometimes creepy,

but true democracy at work.

 

This is for Meeting the Bar at dVerse

I  sincerely admire much graffiti, which can brighten up dreary concrete spaces with wit, skill and real passion.  I did the poetry bombing last March, in various places including a café and among the flowers in the Botanical gardens.  I must write more French poetry, as there’s no point in leaving poems that are incomprehensible to the finder.
