Spirals into starry night, glistening suns the day is night. Pastels and paper gone to bed, Crayons and scissor, stars on thread Creation born the evening right. ~~~ Self Portraits and Starry Nights (written the day after the first section) Spiral lights the morning mind seeing the swirls in coffee hues. Just one cup... No, instead, how ‘bout makin’ two So to absorb the current of wafting steam, Feel rhythm of his coiling blues? Discriminating between ripples of reflection Making them whole with mental glue. [This message has been edited by miscellanea (08-17-2005 10:24 PM).] |

Chuckle, chuckle... This art thing is fun. It sure makes me think! The first portion was in reaction to some experiments we did. The second verse was written in quandary. Can you imagine the situations VanGogh may have been in that caused him to see things differently? I think about his stirring self-portrait. I can imagine his inquiry when staring into his coffee or stirring a pot of soup. What a mind! What vision! |

the miraculous part about this write, is that you've taken time out to imagine what VanGogh might have been thinking... Missy, this was supurb! Also loved the footnote you served Ilana...yes, indeed, what a mind! |

Lee, Geesh, what can I say? I daydream a lot... Thank you for your enthusiasm and encouragement. I haven't been writing much lately, thinking I had nothing to say. I don't know if there is a correlation or not, but when I engage in artistic endeavors, my verbal side goes blank. I just can't pull up words. Guess that's more reason to write, huh? Missy |
