Art

Let's make art.
Will it come from your heart?
Maybe it comes from a thought.
Did you make this while distraught?

Look at those bold lines and big splatters.
Do you think what you make matters?
Who cares, it's just a piece of paper.
Any four year old can make it better like in a caper.

Look at all these eraser marks
How did this even get called art?
You draw like a baby
Take another class maybe?

The paper is torn
It's not far fetched to say that it's been worn
How can this be anything important?
Just put down those supplies.

No.

Just wait...

Is that a dog?
Maybe it's a frog?
Is that a flower?
Is it a person with a superpower?

This picture is so cool!
Did you make this with only that tool?
Make me another one!
Ooh ooh! I like this one a ton!

You're so good at this!
This one fills me with such bliss.
Does this one tell a story?
Maybe it's one filled with glory!

This, this is art.
Such a great job on your part
To be making all this art.
