Janet Miles here.

I love this poem! I think there may be a couple of words missing in one of the stanzas, though?

Kelly preferred the chaos
of Graffiti House, where
[seems like something belongs here?]
featured a different image.

I like street art; I prefer murals to tags, though.

Thank you! ysabetwordsmith September 15 2020, 22:08:36 UTC

Yay!

Fixed.

Simple tagging requires no skill. Illustrated letters or images are much more interesting. I quite like watching trains, which have everything from sloppy tags to impressive pieces.

There are SO MANY fantastic murals in my neighborhood of Chicago. I love the giant CHICAGO mural, it is right noext to a 2 story portrait of Quincy Jones. The mural by the el station has been redone twice and we are on the 3rd one. They keep getting ruined with gang tags, then have to be painted over.
