This has been a challenge for me, but I ran across this interpretation this afternoon in Burke Lake Park, Fairfax, VA.
Two piles of sticks.

Birds are chirping
Kids are playing
The sun is shining

Celebrate National Poetry Month: Sidewalk Chalk and Poetry
National Poetry Month is about sharing and celebrating the wonder of poetry, and what better way to celebrate than by putting poetry in a public place? Go one step beyond hopscotch squares and write a poem in chalk on your sidewalk!
Pick a favorite line from a poem and choose a clean piece of sidewalk or pavement to write on. You can search for a poem on Poets.org or check your bookshelf for an old favorite. Use brightly colored chalk to attract attention to your work, and add drawings or artistic flourishes to create some extra fun.
Parents can hold a neighborhood poetry contest, with all the participants’ poems written along the sidewalks. Passersby will pause to read the lines and you’ll have put a little poetry into someone’s path.

Splish, Splash! Spring has Sprung!
The Fairfax Corner Children’s Fountain opened yesterday! The children have so much fun trying to figure out which jet will spout water next. Check out the technique of the little boy in the green shirt! PRICELESS!
