Street Art, New York City


Street Art, New York City, originally uploaded by DRheins.

The streets of New York City are rich with art -- from retail installations, like this mural on a West Village cafe, to the more ephemeral paste-ups, stickers and graffiti works. If music sets the tempo, art makes the world go 'round.

Framed Graffiti, West Village, NYC

Graffiti as art, well now that's a pretty old debate. Clearly there are many who take their street art and paste ups seriously. Here, in the heart of the West Village, graffiti is showcased in grand style, at witnessed here: nicely framed tags, where once band posters and night club adverts lived.

3 Haikus for Thursday

I am what I do

she shuffles low, reflective

each dawn breaks renewed

***

without doubt she stood

solid and stout on twin trees

arms wide, full of shade

***

tulip like her lips

fresh with dips of hue; we kissed

sent shivers thru me

thick gravel keeps time

footfalls stumble, kick old rails
