A poem written on Gap Filler and Poetica's "Instant Poetry" wall on Colombo Street. The poem reads, "A city's more than buildings, and a city's more than steeples. A city's a population, family, friends and people. I will come back, to my English rose".
A poem written on Gap Filler and Poetica's "Instant Poetry" wall on Colombo Street. The poem reads, "Amidst the shards of glass and twisted steel, beside the fallen brick and scattered concrete, we began to understand that there is beauty in the broken.
