Graffiti

When sun jaded 

curled up aside

And astir cities 

fall asleep,

Incandescent halo

a flashing spotlight,

Daze, Banksy brighten up streets.

Spraying cans 

of idiosyncratic tinges 

wiping out 

prosaic stillness,

Defacing banality

of disdainful fences,

Crumbling walls gleam

when emblazoned with urchins,

shining murals,

Mute subways shout

their slogans

Lurk masterpieces numerous 

on dingy corners.

Some say, vandals,

For some, they are maverick artists.

  1. Ah! What a brilliant piece๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘Œ

  2. What a wonderful poem, dedicated to something that we rarely turn our thoughts to. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’šMy daughter is keenly observant of the graffiti and does think of them as works of very talented artists.

  3. They are actually employing artists for this purpose now. I saw that in Washington and here in Punjab too.
    Nice idea and poem

  4. How true! Love the poem penned.
