Art's in the eye of the beholder (or so I've heard)
But everyone hasn't gotten the word.
What to one eye has added a beam,
To another there is no gleam.

For opinions are alimentary
They're something evryone has.
What to one is praise elementary
To another is so much gas.

But remember: artists are fragile.
For the most part they work for praise.
And no matter if the critic is agile,
Down will be down in a daze.

Art should be studied and enjoyed.
No matter the style or skill.
From everything you can be buoyed.
And from everything you will.

If the next time you view a piece,
(Presuming one comes down the pike)
You accept it with awe and ease;
And not:"I know what I like."
