About Art ~by Kathy Figueroa Art is a language with which we communicate Comprised of lines both straight and broken Of colours, hues and shades A language where not a word is spoken So much can be conveyed By a scene, or enigmatic look A painting can be like an essay A gallery, like a book Artists speak this language Where words need not be said A work of art is a story Just waiting to be read (This poem was published in The Bancroft Times newspaper on May 3, 2012, the Bancroft This Week newspaper on May 11, 2012, and, also, in the Summer, 2012, issue of The Link magazine.)
