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!

Morning Sun

I saw the morning sun
rise above the misty valley
the return of warmth and light
we had overcome the night
and then there too was a spirit
moving slowly over the water
and with it came the grace of dawn
and the morning became sublime
