Happy Monday out there, Meri-Goes-Round Readers. Today might be cold and rainy, but last week was quite warm and sunny, and I went on a stroll through St. Paul with man-go-round before dark one evening. Along the way, there was plenty of enchantment:
As the sun went down over the east side, we came across this sidewalk square, which I assumed must be part of the St. Paul Sidewalk Poetry Contest. This contest was started by the city to both repair the sidewalks and infrastructure but also to inject a little life and beauty into every day. The winners were cemented in various locations around the city. Here are a few of my favorites from the website.

Those are a few of my favorites from the website. I’ve only seen the one (so far) in person, but I’ve heard of others who have been seeing them around the last year or so. What do you think about poetry? Do you read it or write your own? Do you have a favorite poem? Which of the ones I chose do you like best? |
