In downtown Lexington, you can hear the sounds of traffic, pedestrians and a typewriter.

KURTIS Kaiser sets up with an old typewriter and typed out poems for anyone who walks by.

Join us for this week's Tapestry as we learn about the art of impromptu poetry.

I'm out here today writing poetry for anybody that walks by.

For free.

Absolutely for free.

So they'll give me a prompt and then I'll respond with the poem.

And I don't make them ahead of time either.

So every single poem I do for somebody is immediate, and whatever I learn from them is what they get.

There is no, Hey, you already got this.

Here.

Here you go.

There was no catalyst, really, other than just sitting, going all like typewriters.

I can think and I can write.

Let me go see if I can give away poetry for free and see if that makes people happy or not.

A huge thing about this one.

I didn't see it somewhere first, but I know it can't be that original of an idea because it's like that was a very easy thought to have.

Somebody has to have done it, but I won't let that stop me from doing it on my own.

I have zero poetry background, absolutely zero.

And I haven't read too much poetry either.

My day job as a mechanical engineer.

So I do structural installations on helicopters and working with structural installers, doing very hard defined physical things is far different than this, which is a very open ended, prompt based.

I don't know, just think of something kind of role.

So that very analytical day job can sometimes help do this because it's a very linear thought process of think to stop, make this rhyme.

This is a subject call, but then this is also a very do what you want.

I don't know, just think of something or as work as a very constrained environment.

The lack of constraints here is somewhat of a relief where you can just do what you want.

I found that it surprisingly appeals to people that I would not have thought would have liked poetry or like have thought that I would have done it with hearing that an engineer does this thing.

That's pretty neat, man.

At first glance, like, Dude, how do you do this?

All this noise and random shuffle, but it's not as bad as he may think.

There's quite a few distractions at work.

A few hit me up, maybe like on the computer and also saying, Hey, we got this problem over here.

So this is actually not that destructive of an environment because it's there's one person here, they only want one thing and it's a very 1 to 1 exchange for subject.

Here's the poem and other people saying, Trevor, I think that it doesn't bother me.

It's okay.

I can shut that out and kind of do this.

Focus on this.

I can.

I will.

I know that for sure.

My spirit remains a light and above all, staying pure.

What I hope to give out is some sense of positive outlook on life.

Like, Hey, wow, this just happened for free and I got it and there was nothing expected of it.

So hoping to give out hope, hoping to give a positive outlook on things, also hoping to show how you can you can be creative.

It's allowed.

It's all right.

You can do it.

Nobody's going make fun of you out here.

It's all alright.

People are receptive and that anybody can do it too, because if I'm out here doing it, I'm so sorry, Engineer Guy.

I'm not supposed to be able to do this, but here I am just trying.

You can try to.

So it's trying to give some kind of nurturing atmosphere out there for.

Come on, just get on.

Try stuff.

You can do it.

Kizer says he's currently in talks with several indoor locations around Lexington to keep the spontaneous poetry going, even through the winter months.
