Notes About The Poem

Notes: Café Terrace at Night" is more than a visual representation of a scene; it is a portal into Van Gogh's inner thoughts and emotional landscape. The café itself takes on a symbolic role as a place of gathering, reflection, and solitude. Source: www.1st-art-gallery.com

My Ekphrasis poem about this painting  received a POTD on January 2025. I hope  I could give justice to this by making a sweet set of footles.

Cafe Footle

gold light
warm night

teal sky
stars shy

soft chair
you there

warm glow
love slow

eyes meet
time sweet

hands near
stay there

coffee
or me?
