Wall Mural In An Alleyway : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

  

I was walking past an alleyway and something caught my eye .

A young man on a ladder painting a mural of the sky .

Contemporary artwork , for display ,   
on an old brick wall .

But no one actually saw or heard ,
this artist with a call .

A rainbow hue hovered ,
above clouds of stormy influence.

The brush strokes definitely created an electric presence .

I walked over to the young man there , when he stopped for a break   .

I asked him was the work commissioned ,

he said ,  art for arts sake .

 

Alleyways and art galleries ,with young artists work on show .

 

Seldom are the works ever  sold , if anyone wants to know .    

 

The outstanding talent of street artists , are alive and well .

 

On concrete canvasses

there's a place where masterpieces dwell   .
