What Is Art? Poem by Roy Ballard
What Is Art?
What is art? With what intention
does its maker make invention?
Is it old or is it recent,
overmagnified, indecent,
just a thing of passing fashion?
Truth is art's eternal passion;
nature is its primal source;
love of life its driving force.

The three last verses pen art's substance in so poetical a way.
