These feel a marvellous idea – “John Morse has brought his unique blend of imagery and poetry to the streets of New York City.”

Traditional haiku poetry consists of 17 syllables, in three phrases of five, seven and five respectively. Making road safety Haikus is a great idea by the New York City Dept of Transportation commissioning artist John Morse of Dog Star Studiosto design the imagery and the Haikus. He had an installation around Atlanta using just Haikus graphically presented to emulate commercial roadside ‘bandit’ adverts.

Perhaps around East Dulwich we could use these. We’d also need one about parking selfishly around schools, dashing across roads to catch buses, jumping red lights.

Please do send me your Haiku ideas about East Dulwich road safety to me and any pictures to go with them. Perhaps we’ll get some guerrilla kerbside Haikus going.
