Hearth and Art

Every layman knows that since long ago,
painting, sketching and sculpting 
by those possessing valid talent
has produced art that exhilarates hearts
and/or thoughts as artistry caught.

Not all know that our modern times
paired fine arts’ aesthetics chime
with craft’s utilitarian cadence
under Visual Art's mega umbrella.
Many wish riddance to this ambivalence.

To me, the grabbing-high from creativity
comes when it moves me perceptively.
I’m not much for art particulars,
its critics, popular trends or scholars.
I have my own criteria for art to
be brought home and share my hearth;
it must spark my imagination’s girth
with a delight that bubbles forth.
