Do you love art?

I think art is using our power of creation to make the world a better place. What I want you to do is explain what art means to you through a poem but without stating it bluntly. I don't want this:"I love art. it helps me go through life" no kidding isn't that why you're considering entering this contest?

I want to *see* the painting, *smell* the Clay, *touch* the beads, *taste* the food and *hear* the music or whatever else...

Now the dreaded rules:

1)Unless you paint in blood, I don't want cutting poems.
2)YoU cAn tYpE LyKe DiS or LIKE THIS but I won't read it.
3)Comment on one of my poems...I'll be reading all of your entries and commenting on them so I'd appreciate it if you commented on one of mine.
4)Erotica is allowed (no pornography)Sex is art, after all!
5)No prewrites...I want it to come from your heart.

First place gets 300 pts
Second place gets 200 pts
Third place gets 100 pts

Now all that's left to do is the writing!

Have Fun!

  • The Palette
    Rainbow on palette, shades of many hues; nothing to lose
    A moment in time, captured in paint; restraint

    it creates these visions of beauty in our heads.

    It sounds like a sea of scarlet wine.
    Soft waves ripple across the surface.

  • Art is Art is Art
    How many times have I heard someone remark,
    “That’s just nothing but it’s called art”?
