Appreciating an Art

Appreciating an Art

P K Routray

An infant while being held in arms

him, the tattoo on the hand charms.

An infant while crawling on the floor

the art on the ground touches his heart’s core.

While standing with wall as supporting structure

The infant’s artistic caliber, the arts on the wall nurture

When it goes for a bath to a river

watches he on the sand the arts of its sister.

The fan held in hand to give him cool air

had an art on it to appeal as at it, he stares.

The cake the child eats on the day of celebration

has unique art varying befitting to the occasion.

From infancy a child in village sees around

arts and crafts everywhere unlimited, unbound

with their keen observation and participation

builds in him, to art a sense of appreciation.

the child in cities and town modern

is trapped with many funnier distraction

like internet, smart phone and television

with no time to stand and stare an artistic creation.
