Art serves a Purpose

Member since 2005 · Posted 24 Aug 2005 · 3 comments

Art serves a purpose that is not quite it's own, and when spring comes, everybody's smiling. Have you ever wondered why it's always a long and lonely winter, or what makes a shorter day seem that much longer? We all have. But what really matters is that when the mittens are back in closet, and the dandelions are starting to bloom you enjoy it. Because beauty is fleeting and likes to head south for the winter.

Leave out the parts that tell us what we think - "We all have." "you enjoy it." Your idea is good, but look at the grammar, and be a little slyer (is that a word?) in how you say it.
