I saw this sign the other day in Seattle. I loved that the Department of Transportation wrote a poem about a bridge being painted.
What if we had poetry surrounding us every day?
The school cafeteria:
Grab your tray
Fill it up today!
The crosswalk:
Wait, then walk.
Look, then gawk
Speak, then talk.
Time to cross!
The grocery store:
Apples and oranges and pears, oh my.
On sale today: cherry pie.
Pick a cart. You're at the mart.
Ready? Set? Start!
Pick a place or thing you see every day. Write a poem that tells about it in a fun way. And remember to "cross nicely" at the bridge!
