"Starry Night" Vincent van Gogh
starry night
above rice fields, hills,
white summer
~0~0
shooting stars
lighting midnight sky,
lantern sun
~0~0
wishing well
pocket full of coins,
moonlit face
~0~0
midnight dance
full of promises,
starry night
and for Theme Thursday:
ice cream swirls
chocolates, mints, nuts,
melting blues
melting blues
topped with strawberries,
sweet as you
Tackle it Tuesday: Shooting Stars
Theme Thursday: Ice-Cream
Grace, I really love how you wrote about Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Just beautiful. And truly, I can picture some of those clouds as ice cream flavors as well -- what a creative thinker you are to imagine that!

I love the painting Starry Night......and the song, for that matter. Your haiku made me think of the music..........lovely, kiddo!
ReplyDeleteOoooo...all of this is ...delicious!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I have to agree, the swirling style Van Gogh used in this painting does remind me of ice cream swirls.
ReplyDeleteStrawberries and icecream yum. A midnight dance that is full of promises is my kind of dance and night. Nicely done. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe imagery of the shooting star being a lantern sun.. that was an absolute delight.. it looks like someone is carrying the light across the night sky..
ReplyDeleteswirls of icecream, like this image very much
