It all started last year when poet Christina Brooks started chalking some poetry outside her house in Detroit and this idea caught on and finally became Canton First Friday's CHALK THE WALK event. A group of poets assembled as a street team gathering at the offices of Citizen X (publisher of BRsq.org) at 2:00 on July 1st, 2011 to collect chalk and poems and then heading out to cover the art district sidewalks with lines of verse!
It is a great honor for me to be able to join this group for this event, though physically I was on the other side of the world but I could still share my poems with them and support this venture. Cheers !!!!
let the phone ring
i am not getting up
let the sun burn my legs
i am not pulling the shades down
trying hard to finish this dream
