Art is like a fart
Poetry
Art is like a fart
Art is like a fart that slips right out of your brain
Not stinky or smelly but magic insane.
Seeping out when you least foresee
Light and funny open carefree.
Sometimes a squeak a tiny blip
Other times a loud rolling ship.
Don’t be afraid to let yours out
Holding in isn’t what it’s about.
A silent but deadly is the goal
Clear that room to see what will unfold.
Throw open a window or a door
Cleaning out pipes makes room for much more.
More room on the outside than in
So, this is where we will begin.
Never worry about where it will dock
Let it out boldly, a yell or a squawk.
Find beauty in nature take photos galore
Go through them with joy and you’ll never be bored.
Make magic with charcoal, watercolor, oil
Put it down quickly as to not let it spoil.
Dali Kahlo Picasso Monet
Started with an idea just this way.
Use clay or metal mold model and make
Wonderful creations to sculpt squish and bake.
Michelangelo, Kusama, Koons
All started sculpting in tiny rooms.
David, Dots, Balloon Dog and more
Art in the world that lives and roars.
Magical worlds that start with an idea
Now a part of our culture, like a tortilla.
Seuss, Baum, Milen and Dahl
Used pens to tell tales tall.
Dorothy, Charlie, Horton, and Pooh
All had adventures I wish for you.
Make up a song strike up the band
Always it must come from your hands.
Mozart, Bowie, Beyonce and Swift
Give us their music, a special gift.
Sometimes it’s hard to smell others wind
You must start somewhere so let’s begin.
Today is the day now being the time
Take up that instrument, complete that rhyme.
The world wants to see what you create
It might be smelly but could be great.
So don’t be afraid be bold make art
Now is the time to let out that fart.
