a poem about the Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

The relaxing scene of
a start filled sky,
cascading mountains and
a tiny town,
nestled in between.

The morning star, Venus,
stands her ground
as the sun threatens
to take her spot,
amongst the clouds.

The clouds swirl and spin,
as night fades into day.
Dawn soon disappears
and lets daytime
out to play.

The town below soon misses,
that starry night the love.
and now they wait
for day to end,
to see their old friend again.


Dusk comes and goes,

then night reappears.
and just before dawn settles in,
the morning star glows brightly,
once again.

  1. Well, first of all I love this painting; I have it hanging in my room. The rea one too, cost me a good sum of money. No, just kidding... obviously... ANYWAY, I really like how you personify Venus. I also love the resolution at the end, there's some dissonance and discord between night and day in the middle, but by the end, it's resolved. Very cool.
