I've seen a poetry box in a neighborhood in Seattle. They put copies of a poem in the box so you can take one with you. I think we need one near our dog park. We could read and write dog poems. The issue is not zoning, but sadly the Little Free Library in our park was vandalized.

For the first time, I wish I lived on a busier road so I could start my own poetry box that wears the label "art."
