Poetry in the Parks
A Poetic Adventure
Your mission, should you choose to accept it....Find the poet.
Hint:
You'll find the poet near her lace umbrella
Once you have completed your poetic quest,
you will be rewarded with a personalized poem created just for you.
But remember, in order to get your reward poem,
you must find her first.
This adventure is for adults and children alike.
You can go on a solo quest, a family quest, or even bring your friends.
This poetic adventure is FREE for all to join thanks to the Boulder Arts Commission.*
This project is funded by a grant from the Boulder Arts Commission, an agency of the Boulder City Council.
