So many poems about public art!

 Wow! It was a great turn-out this week for a kinda weird topic: public art. A lot of people described things I have never seen, including the Medievalist:

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

And Christine (Sterling Heights?):

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

I've also never seen what Jill Scoggins described (Oh, Louisville!):

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.

But I have seen the Bean referred to here:

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

And that cherry noted by Your Tim(e) Has Come:

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

While this anonymous poem creates some mystery:

Gift Horse, blue rooster,
Big thumbs up, Lord Nelson’s Ship
Trafalgar’s Fourth Plinth.

And Gorton still likes those cows...:

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

Comments:
Google Sterling Heights and see for yourself.
