Starts with a plan, You need a street, volunteers with care, You need chalk and artists volunteers who, give time to share, too make it complete! Every artist bends, and begins to work, some kneel some stand, there is a demand, on every body, fingers coated in chalk dust, as the asphalt grinds away, minutes become hours. measured by smaller and smaller, morceaux de craie a chill is in the air, yet warmth is around each artist, as they work the asphalt. Centennial Square artists of chalk beautiful works to be seen, and the kids, could work with chalk; was the talk. Government Street, quite a beat, to walk and see artists' heart, and love for what they can do, put on display for you and you too, as you enter to the center of the Bay Centre! You, on your way to or from work, walking by, you who want to see something different downtown, you who have friends in Victoria from anywhere, you who may want to do this next time, next year, let the chalk do the talking! ©DWE092013

Victoria International Chalk Art Festival 2013 (poem 1)
Starts with a plan, You need a street, volunteers with care, You need chalk and artists volunteers who, give time to share, too make it complete!

Centennial Square artists of chalk beautiful works to be seen, and the kids, could work with chalk; was the talk.
