Excellent Form
What is your take on art throughout history?
The sculpture should remain nude.
Human bodies in art ought to possess excellent form.
They should be appreciated once viewed.
Romanticism should be the norm.
Everyday portraits without light or grace,
Populate museums the world over.
It is only in the painted beautiful face
That one stands and retires from being a rover.
To lay at the feet of a great sculpture for hours
Or to gaze upon a wondrous portrait,
Is like bringing a lover a dozen flowers
And hope that those florets they never forfeit.
Ideas expressed through visual art,
Ought to be held in high esteem.
It’s where man traces his start
As he made sketches from a dream.
Art goes back as far as man.
Visit museums in cities around the world if you can.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
