Starry nights















Starry starry nights.

Showcase nature's chandelier.
Harbinger prosperity.
Compose a beautiful melody.
Uplift the soul.

Revive our night together.
Blessed by the same stars.

I do not like starry nights.

this is not the original "Starry Starry Nights"... but is this one also by Van Gogh?

There are two aspects of the poem about which I wanted to comment...

The thought... Gulp... I am left speechless. At least right now.

The literary quality... Sheer power. You forge words with such ruthless ease - something I cannot hope to attain. Again, at least right now.

Thanks a lot for your encouragement...but it is a lot that you say. I think all of us have distinctive styles which make our writings unique :) And yes, this is also by Van Gogh.

aah. the "ruthless ease" with which kriti composes his comments.
lakshmi, i think you should consider promoting that comment to a full post.
