Welcome to the home of take-it-to-the-street-poetry
The concept of our project is about offering words and art to those that have limited access to these gifts. Getting the words to those that are in confined environments, living on the edge, the homeless and lonely, etc. We share our art, print and “drop” the volumes in random places around the world, in hopes the lucky ones to get them will enjoy the moments of reading and perhaps start a spark or rekindle their admiration for the arts.
Would you like to participate? Here’s how it works.
- Submit a poem, short prose or artwork of your creation. Please include your name as you want it to appear in the booklet. Your submission will go into a booklet that will be available on a free download link.
- Please use the Submission form for all contributions of words/art :

“words are not so important as to be vaulted away, nor are they worthless enough to throw away, so we give them away”
I like this statement so much. I don’t like poetry that’s stuffed with words but i do like the right words that light a match
Thank you DP.. Your support and guidance have been invaluable to tittsp and myself.
Gracias!
Best wishes on your new site and project.
A true honour to be a part of your vision
All the best to all the good that will follow you
Bloomin’ marvellous Lynnie
Sounds like a plan to me!
Congrats and nice work…
This looks awesome.
Very well done!
Thank you everyone!!
yes, yes, yes!
thanks Mr. Shaw !! Tell your boy his art is well-loved here:-
and this is how it began
And it grows wider than my arms and farther than my eyes can see:-)
A beautiful comment “we” received today. I’d like to share”
Hi, I was introduced to your website by Desdemona Casio, and can’t tell you what a privilege it is! Such a beautiful idea, especially when you consider that in the experience of beauty one awakens and surrenders all in the same act. So very much a win, win for everyone involved. I would be so honored and humbled to be a part of such an endeavor, and have submitted a poem called ‘Gift of the Gloaming’. Hopefully I’ve navigated around your website correctly, as I’m a bit computer illiterate, lol. Thanks so much for such a wonderful opportunity to share! Sincerely, Colleen Schutte USA
Lynne, this is beautiful and I’m honored to be a part of it. Warmest wishes to you. You’re doing something and that is to be commended. Bringing people together, then bestowing thought, words,and knowledge…a truly noble endeavor.
I am proud to be a part of your noble endeavor!
Thank You, Annie B.
I’m so happy you are sharing your words with others Annie.. Viva la Poetry!!
thanks for the recent visit to my blog, much appreciated 🙂
what can I do?
Hi Emily-apologies for not seeing this comment.. you are welcome to share your words or those of others and then we print and take the love to the streets!!
lynne, emily burns shared this with me, and it has resonated so completely with some recent ideas that have been pressing on me about poetry and the place of the artist in terms of social renewal. i will be humbly submitting some work, and would love to talk with you more in depth.
this shines.
thank you so much,

HI-
i started this as a simple idea and now it has been so well recieved. To give you an idea, check out the 100k Poets for change event/video. Words, poetry,art can heal and lessen the division between us all.
Please feel free to email me and welcome to the tittsp tribe:-)
Lynne

Kit- sounds good.. bring it on this is about “us”..

Lynne
