What Is That Painted All Over the Buildings? (Street Art, Folk Art, or Graffiti?) - A Poem
Graffiti all over the buildings, Oh my!
How can they let this go on?
The colors covering spaces we walked by,
Miss-matched browns would have covered each one,
If we were in the States, that is,
For graffiti is not condoned.
But in España it’s encouraged, it ‘tis,
Because it was there wherever we roamed.
Making Our Way Down to Mexico
The Hills & Plains, Oh my!
To travel ‘cross
This desert plain,
While heat is bearing down
Naught for miles
But shadow’s stain,
No water to be found.
‘Til we see a glistening sea
Just barely up ahead
Let’s hurry, I beseeched
For thirst doeth abound,
But no matter the hurried speed,
Or the distance we would go,
that sea would ne’er be reached,
a truth filled with woe.
