Goode Guy Poet Sonnet

Painting a Starry Night

I look to Vincent, inspiration in France
to see the performance of a lifetime
after first act's ending, to take a chance
to follow another rope's twisted lifeline

he, as we all do, struggled for meaning
and sought to canvas beauty to be seen
starlight on star beams to shine on beaming
down on all souls in that peaceful scene

so beautiful the swirling-blue evening sky
with the golden-yellow moon positioned so
sleepy dreams the villagers thoughts ally
appendages and mouths pretzeled together apropos

a loving act spread under A Starry Night sighing
paint a starry night scene, Eros love underlying

Andrea Dietrich February 4, 2012 at 3:47 PM great sonnet writing, Goode. What a cool name you have too. I bet your parents enjoyed picking that for you! It's your last name is Guy?? (because I only have known someone with first name Guy). I love the theme you chose. Did you ever hear that song Starry Starry Night? Beautiful like your poem.
