Maggi is hosting a challenge on the forums this month called Poetry in Motion and part of the challenge is to create a layout but the poem of your choice must be part of the layout ... Now for us that do not journal (BUT SHOULD) this was kind of hard an d out of my comfort zone. The first project I was making was trashed then I decided to print the poem on the paper and work around it .. and voila my : "Where the Sidewalk Ends"
Products Used : digital designed background paper, dusty attic, handmade resin pieces, lots of new flying unicorn flowers that will be in the store just before Thanksgiving !
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Shel Silverstein
