Art

Art, is worlds of splendor, Calliopes of sight and sound, That stimulate our senses, Expressing life profound. Art, is visual texture, Space, shapes, and colored lines, Its tones and measured values, Of every imaginable kind. Art, is Michelangelo, And his Creation at Sistine, Kandinsky at the Guggenheim, Pablo Picasso at fifteen. Art, is melodic singing, An opera at the Met, Or orchestrated performance, Of audible storytelling silhouettes. Art, is Sarah Brightman, With Bocelli accompanied, The New York Philharmonic, Woodwind, brass, and tenor strings. Art, is famous people and places, Resonating with artistic flair, Paris, Rome, Broadway, London, Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire. Art, is how history captures, A nation’s cultural appeal, Toward things its people value most, Their morals, ethics, and ideals.
