blue skies cried rivers of black crows
as the world sat back  
and wondered why
van goghs were cursed
and yet?
creative juices are still God's gift
at least,
in my book
and in my book
this theo was an artist
maybe not exactly vincent
but yet?
a soul that should not
have bled thusly



(but should any soul?)

There are issues relating to this that are better left unsaid, except to say, even Vincent's darkest art inspires me to see beauty and love. Theo's film SUBMISSION portrayed such an ugly side of humanity, and his brutal death underscores the subject matter of his work.

artists I believe are extremely sensitive and much deeper then most...society fears anyone out of the ordinary (which society dictates as ordinary) Van Gogh's choice of wanting to be an artist, went against his father's wishes...resulting in being not only banned from the family, but also from society...which is a grave burdon to bear...

But I think of Van Gogh as having the last laugh, so to speak, as he left behind his marvlous discovery of colors, and precious art work...and I don't believe it is he that is in Hell...(wink)

hugs dear lady for your precious heart and wonderful poem

should any soul bleed?  Much to ponder here...I, too, see beauty in some things others wouldn't.   ....jo

Even this one line, would be enough to make this a memorable poem. Exquisite work here!
