My everyday journey was brightened this morning
By a vision of summer, the sidewalk adorning.
I walked down High Street on my way to work
And ran across a man with an artistic quirk.
Each time he struck the drab sidewalk,
He breathed life into it through the stroke of his chalk.
A woman floating effortlessly in a pool of cement
To spread delight is her intent.
Each person who passes the gleeful scene
Is left with a cheery mood: smiling, joyful, serene.
Who knew that a whimsical habit like this
Could put a whole city in a state of bliss?
