The moon speaks in phases
the sun a voice of lasers
every cloud a picture story -- 
write me a day, and I’ll paint
you a Starry Night.

PICTORIAL VAN GOGH poetrix



          

       Golden fields driven by winds
          routes of exile, twisted sky
    tawny canvases, sad beautiful scenes!

came so great like
a speeding arrow,

never comes late
under call as
megalomaniac
and charging sparrow.

From Bruges was Jan Van Eyk
modified oil to depict the light
He made his name painting the wealthy
which made his own bank account look healthy

Stan’s Flat

Stan’s Chevy van had a flat. 
"Where is the damn spare at?" 
Stan cursed at the tire, 
Letting loose his ire. 
Poor Stan and his van had a spat.

Dame van Dyke now reclines and relaxes,
while her lady-in-waiting re-waxes
      bristled shadowy skin
      of her chinny-chin-chin...
the vexation of vain battle-axes.

we were without home
but life goes on
we had plans
things got out of hand
and lost many thing
what true love brings

Dutch post-impressionist Vincent Willem Van Gogh
Misunderstood genius as we all know
Did not go gently into his starry, silent night
Posthumously famous in his own right

After a long, long snooze, Rip Van Winkle

Woke with a start, his duds all a-wrinkle

Said he, a bit dotty

"Quick!   Bring me a potty

I'm in need of a humongous tinkle!"
