Skirmish prompt: Bad Art
V1
pasta pendants
painted bright gold
paper plate hats with
pink ribbons and bows
velvet paintings of
red and orange sunsets
such are treasures
I will never forget
V2
white dipped pines cones
with silver glitter
paint by number
cute puppy pictures
rubbings of fall leaves
in bold purple hues
such are treasures
I cherish from you
C
all things treasured
aren’t exquisite
pieces of art
but all things treasured
will forever
adorn my heart
V3
framed plaster imprints
of small hands and feet
collages of pictures
from magazines
misshapen tiny pots
of coiled glazed clay
such are treasures
I keep on display
C
all things treasured
aren’t exquisite
pieces of art
but all things treasured
will forever
adorn my heart
B
every card you ever made
every creature of paper mache
every drawing from pre-school
every silly adolescent cartoon
every treasure I truly adore
wasn’t found in a gallery
or bought in a store
C
all things treasured
aren’t exquisite
pieces of art
but all things treasured
will forever
adorn my heart

This I relate too, the best art on my walls are the pictures my kids have done. Pure and innocent. Love it!

Yes, very sweet indeed. You turned the bad art prompt into something special. I probably would have just written an awful song to be labled bad art. :P

Aww this is so utterly sweet! We do treasure all their art, whether perfect or not. I can't wait to hear this one!
