Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
lonely dutch artist
paints his view from asylum
seeking blue-hued peace
_____
thoughts like colors swirl
calm by beauty of bright moon
dark tree gives balance
_____
roiling emotions
mind’s sky illuminated
brush-stroked starry night

Lynn, I am so happy for you, the big 300! Your haiku on van Gogh are lovely. Did you know that the way he painted stars is, scientifically, the way they actually move? So who is “disturbed,” right? Man, I should be so disturbed!! (Although, technically, my psychiatrist would say… LOL) Amy

Thanks, Amy! That’s interesting about Van Gogh accurately painting the stars’ movement… brilliant, like his paintings!

Congrats on 300. I look forward to meeting van Gogh in heaven–he has inspired so many.

Thank you, Victoria 🙂 Amazing how his “disturbed” mind still appreciated beauty!
