The Children's Back Yard Museum of Art

 

Children are the truest arbiters of art

Finding beauty in the unlikeliest things:

A bottle cap, a rusted auto part

Metal washers, broken glass, cigar rings

 

A discarded knife with a broken blade

One dime-store earring with one rhinestone

A greenish bit of plastic – can it be jade?

And a real-life, genuine dinosaur bone!

 

Art nicely displayed along the fence row -

Adults think it just junk, but what do they know?
