Beautiful Haiku...I like the word coverlet especially.  It makes me think of a gentle protection....the night sky over the earth below...really lovely imagery.

What a sweet thing to say! Thanks Steave! ~ but 'tis surely I who be honoured to have Van Gogh's painting as the setting for mine meagre words!

Hmm, Steave and Stars start with the same letter! Curious!
