A poem about Vincent van Gogh, first published in ART TIMES

VINCENT

One vivid starry night you did it
curled in a smothering blanket
shot vermilion
holed in your brother's arms

easy as squeezing a last finger
of yellow ochre
Prussian blue
onto a stretched livid canvas

your startling vert eyes
stopped, dried

your sunstruck mind cracked
from ear to ear

Brilliant--full of new lines and great word combos. I see you do love words -- and this is a succulent morsel. --Charlie

He was a bit of a strange fellow, but his artwork is excellent...

Be safe,
