| La Loma Bridge Arroyo Seco: Then |
ARROYO VILLANELLE
Arts & Crafts flourished in the Arroyo Seco.
Chaparral hills with underground water flow,
Most of the time, the dry creek’s slow.
Homesteaders built craftsman homes
A Century ago in Sycamore Grove.
Arts & Crafts flourished in the Arroyo Seco.
Poets & artists like Charles Fletcher Lummis
Settled in the lush landscape of wooded oaks.
Most of the time, the dry creek’s slow.
The river ran wild a long time ago,
The concrete came for flood control.
Arts & Crafts flourished in the Arroyo Seco.
Figueroa is the intersection of the Avenues.
The river tunnels, the canvas for crews.
Most of the time, the dry creek’s slow.
Everything changed when the freeway was built.
Concrete covered flowing water below.
Arts & Crafts flourished in the Arroyo Seco.
Most of the time, the dry creek’s slow.
