I can too, says Bill Baker; but Van Gogh knows her best because he created all the feelings and thoughts we have when we absorb this moment in time. Lovely poetry, John ... Congratulations on making the Top 100 New Poems list! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people—Van Gogh Your uniqueness shines, John Watt.

The same picture, different artists, different modes, teasing in the shadows of each other. Beautifully done John

And Van Gogh did with each stroke of his brush, as does John Watt with the Monoku he’s penned. Excellent, John.
