"Art"

Couple of options here:

-what does the word "art" mean to you?
-find a picture of something you would call art, post the picture in the poem or a link to the picture and then tell me why it is art and what you feel or think about when you see it.
-below is the first picture result for a google image search of the word art, you can:
-- a )tell me if you think it is?
-- b ) write a poem about the picture itself.
-- c )write a poem that has the same feel or tone as this "art".

    possibly i will enter a piece into this contest seeing as though i am surrounded here by works of my own created art. spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...

    I love steam trains and I have an unfinished poem that might be a word-reflection of the Monet-painting. Does the poem have to rhyme...? Hope you get many wonderful entries.

    I think that this is a brilliant idea for a contest, however "art" to me is not just a picture so I would be hard pushed to find the right one. Neverthe less I am going to give this my best shot because it is different. Well done rainwalker.

    this is very interesting, although i'm not a very good writer of poems. i may actually consider being brave enough to enter.

    art encompasses so much
    i've bookmarked this just in case... my muse is not dependable and writes when it pleases and seldom 'on demand'.
    you will surely get lots of super entries
