our class went to see
nick cave’s art exhibit
up close and personal
sound suits
colors
swirls
dancing
textures
fun
then made
their own accessories
in his style
and
learned so much
about art having no boundaries
how things can look and sound and feel
art can be found in all kinds of places
and
most of all
that each of them are artists in their own right.

the artist’s world is limitless.
it can be found anywhere,
far from where he lives or a few feet away.
it is always on his doorstep.
~paul strand
a young artist contemplates her surroundings
the kinders create
olympism is the marriage of sport and culture.
– juan antonio samaranch
it is art fair time once again
and we start out strong
babies v and r bouncing along
and hoping all our wishes come true
wandering through the streets
seeing all the colors
and people
and dogs with hats
and statues that move
and twirly
and painty
and beautiful
shiny things
and dancers
swaying and bending
and smelling
the spicy kabobs
and licking
the sugar
off
the elephant ears
and
hearing
drums booming
and
touching
all kinds of everything.
and then
it is time for a break
on the diag
a quiet oasis
right in the middle of it all
with a bottle and a blanket and a weary smile
and with the hug of a tree
much bigger than me
and then
you reach your limit
and you find
your very own
secret and happy place
and
your hopeful wish
is
to go home
once again.
–
timing has a lot to do with art.
