Haiku Friday: Public Art

 


There is a lot to love-- and a lot to not love so much-- about public art. Some cities (like Chicago or Columbus, Indiana) have done a great job with it. Others pretty much threw up some cows in sweaters. Let's haiku about that this week! Here, I will go first:

Spoon and red cherry
Invite me to the Walker
Minneapolis!

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun....

Hey, I like those cows!
A boon to local artists
(Yes, talent varies).

Did the cherry get
A brand new coating of red
It looks different

Shiny stainless steel
Reflects the sky, the people
Chicago’s Cloud Gate
(but everyone calls it The Bean!)

Our twenty-four-foot
Wishbone: popular during
Thanksgiving each year

Frozen during the
polar vortex of last year,
it’s now stored away

Hopefully to be
back in November. Icon
of our holidays.

Woody Allen stands
On a street in Oviedo,
He's contemplative.

The Golden Ring stands
in Sterling Heights Michigan
Is the "butt" of jokes
