I do like abstract art - in doses. I think when an abstract piece can capture the essence of something, it is magnificent. However, when it is in Love with itself , the idea like canvases all one color- theory only. And painful to the eyes.

I like some. I have a friend who does some awesome work. But when it looks like it might have been done by my grandchild, it's lost on me.

your acrostic 5-7-5 follow the contest rules

your letters flow in your sentences to portray art is still in galleries

Love your acrostic mixed with haiku poem that you entered into this prompt. I like the line audacious abstracts, as that is art. Best of luck.

Clever contest entry, Dallas. I think you did a fine job with the twist. I've been to more than a few art galleries where folks wander through the modern art section and you just know they're thinking 'my kid could do that'. Anyway, that's my take on it. Good luck!

Just visited the Cleveland museum of art and got my fill of traditional. At east in a museum periods are segregated. I like some abstract but I get my fill real fast. Thanks for reviewing.

Well, this is certainly a new combination--a 5-7-5 acrostic. You managed the form well with another of your observations, and you even added alliteration. Good job! Best wishes in the contest- Joan
