Poetry in Public: Places of Landing

Poems will replace advertising on public transit, enlivening commutes across King County.

Poetry in Public celebrates local voices by featuring poems written by King County residents in shared spaces. This year’s theme, Places of Landing, embraces the poetry of our daily lives. It honors the movements, places, and feelings that tell the stories of our days. Everyone can be a poet!

Landing

A landing is like sinking in the water
A landing is like skateboarding on a ramp
A landing is like a fine line between floating and falling
When I land, it is like pushing through gravity
When I land, it is like a bee sitting on flowers
I land here.
