written on the city

long live the inspiration to make a difference to boring, mute public spaces devoid of soul

Utter shite.

Lovely!

wow its really beautiful... i like the wood :)

I like the handwriting, it's really pretty.

cool right on !!

st lucia? REALLY? this is in st lucia? wow. see - I go to UQ (st lucia campus). where is this written? it's beautiful!

Beautiful.

I think that's defacing that perfectly good brick wall.

that's beautiful! i love the open yet anonymous nature of the poem. beautiful.

thats how poetry should be expressed, for all to read and enjoy

umm ya

thats incredible

it was beautiful. the best part about it is how its written in the city for anyone to read.

This is the truest spirit of poetry I have ever read. I too am a poet, much less gifted than this.

like it

i loved it .. even more the fact that is not on paper or ur head ..it's somewhere in the city and that to me is poetry

I really loved this. It was great, and beautiful!

that is very beautiful and poetic. the writer is quite the figure.

I think this is simple and beautiful.

This is by Mervyn Peake, it's called Conceit.

what is the title of this poem? It's beautiful

lovely

this reminds me of falling in love for the first time. as if it means being okay with leaving everything behind, because finally life makes sense this way.

brilliant.

lovely. I hope this uplifts many people when they pass by it in real life, as we have on the internet.

just as few lines from a well-known song. So what?

I like it.

-- h, not everything is photoshop. Get a grip.

So poignant.

nice graffiti..

Now all those branches seem so bare, but ne'er a passerby doth stare nor linger a while where I sat, for the place is soiled by the bird that shat! ;-)

beautiful:)

photoshopped? why would you bother? surely writing it in a bit of wood would actually be less bother.

i wish people could write graffiti like that more often.

I took a picture one winter of a bare tree with hundreds of these little black birds on the branches. This made me think of that.

Well said.

very poignant

this is so beautiful!

that was sweet and beautiful the only thing i get thats writen on my city and those y mexi gangs of graffitti

I love its simplicity and beauty

Beautiful. And the fact it is written in such an unlikely place makes it even more moving.

photoshoped

he lingered long, the dirt his bed wondering often might be be dead nut once again did the day turn spring his leaves born again, once more could he sing

Very moving.
