Random Acts of Poetry

Random Acts of Poetry is a new poetry movement which I want to start. It is a way that makes poetry "interactive" it is an attempt to revolutionize poetry, and revitalize, and maybe eventually if enough people are inspired, create a poetry buzz. It is an effort to try and make poetry relevant again by bringing it into the world. In this day in age the average person just does not pick up old dusty books of poetry to read. So I say bring the poetry to the public in a rather unique way which might cause a certain intrigue and perhaps inspire someone.

So how does Random Acts of Poetry work? It is fairly simple. The idea is to anonymously and discretely leave behind random bits of poetry where the public will be confronted with it. For instance, taping a poem to the back of a door in a public restroom. If you go out to eat slip a short poem in with the tip. Go grocery shopping, than tape a poem on the back of a cereal box for someone else to come and find. The idea is to be creative, but in a way that does not deface property public or private as to avoid giving poetry a bad name.
