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
Missed linking to prompt on CDHK but inspired to write this set…my 300th post!

Shiki, one of the Big Five haiku poets, wrote this in classical style:
when I looked back,
the man who passed
was lost in the mist
© Masaoka Shiki
his haunting haiku inspires my attempt as follows:
glance out my window
cloud wisps pass before half moon
glimpse coyote shadows

river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines

owl wings past fir tree shadows
stream gurgles soft lullaby.

image from en.wikipedia.org
the blood moon
is a woman;
she bleeds her
monthly tide
as proof of
her fertility;
she labors
through phases
add nausea-um
waxes gibbous
and convulses
with hot birth.
her heart aches
behind the
dark side of
loneliness;
a face that
no one sees.
her secret
sorrow is the
knowledge that
she’s only the
reflecting mirror
of manly sun’s glory.
