I'm taking a water bottle on my next trot through downtown.

Did you know that in certain parts of Downtown Boston, poetry is revealed when the concrete sidewalks gets wet?

According to TreeHugger, it's part of a project from MassPoetry.org.  They launched it as a part of poetry month.

Mass Poetry.org says

Using a biodegradable water-repellent spray and stencils made by local artists, the city's Mural Crew is setting out to place poems throughout the streets of Boston. The spray vanishes once dry, so the poems are invisible - until it rains. Once wet, the area around the poems will darken, and Bostonians will be treated to short poems as they walk around the city.

The Poems featured are works from Langston Hughes, Elizabeth McKim, Barbara Helfgott Hyett, and Gary Duehr- all of which, in some way or another, have ties to Boston.

The poems are found in Downtown Boston.
