Art

Art is easily seen and recognized I have seen a lawn mowed, a brick laid. Heard it sung and played Seen it sculpted in alabaster Marveled at results beyond my hands Taken brush and knife to canvas Designed and built boats from pencil to plane Carved dragons and hitch cocks in soft and hard woods Put words to paper and painted mind dreams Art is easily seen and with practice produced Joy gained and given Living it Ever looked at a fresh mowed baseball diamond Or playing field. The patterns are alive as any plaid or tartan quilt The flow of movement constant as any ballroom dancer in the laying of brick I saw a woman’s head in alabaster face behind a veil draped over cheeks so real the bones were shining through Art is a three letter word Awe is how it feels to be near Yaw is how it floats as a boat This is another vain attempt to explain it
