Starry Nights

Over the town in clear ebony Shines down the glow of ancient stars Their light twinkling out a melody Of moonlight dreams in all that is ours The people go about life blithely Never seeing the amazing repertoires Of glorious night lights striking freely Against the city’s better memoirs Everyone who walks past them Should note the way they glitter and glimmer Beautiful sparkles that speak like a poem Starry nights the color of azure After seeing the scenic night sky I feel reassured of God’s vivid cheers And after whispering a silent sigh I will leave you my tears Inspired by my favorite Van Gogh painting – Starry Nights

You capture Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" with poetry. Nicely written.

this is very well written, and I particularly like that second stanza - "...night lights striking freely/against the city's better memoirs" - van gogh is probably my favourite artist, and I wrote an ekphrasis on his painting 'wheatfield with crows'...thanks, also, for your kind comment on my poem :)

A nice poem that the picture inspired in you, Regina. I love that picture too. Did you ever hear the song Starry Starry Night from the 70's. I know you would love it.
