Van Gogh Poem by Shemaine English

Van Gogh

Rating: 5.0


Tonight
-will be
a starry night.

And I
will climb
the cypress
that caresses
the sky.

Like a golden,
black flame
I
will rise.

This is the place.
Where we
will find
our power.

And the place,
where we
will find
the truth
Inside
of...

A dream.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Carl Harris 27 February 2009

This is a very terse and well written poem, Shemaine, in a far more mature style than one would expect from one so young. It is very expressive and uses the imagary of Van Gogh's great final 'Starry Night' painting very effectively in this exceptionally well written poem. Carl.
