The first time
Van Gogh and I met
I was starry eyed
Aflamed by his starry night
I danced in his field
Of irises, and never
Knew such hues
A joyous sway of blue
And when I walked
into his cafe nuit
Laughters, secret whispers
Upon a brilliant canvas
A burst of yellow
Captured sunrays
That never fades
The artist creates
A perpetual point of reflection

Thank you dear Carrie for a lovely prompt
I was first introduced to Van Gogh by my English teacher
Mrs Khaw Choon Ean 25 years ago.

a great idea for the prompt - and you have swept the van Gogh feel into your words
ReplyDeleteI read this aloud... auditory beauty!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I so love this. Love Vincent's Starry Night too. The last lines: "The artist creates a perpetual point of recollection" is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteVan Gogh would be proud of this. You bring it out so well.
