Echostains is hosting a poetry challenge based on a lovely video of Vincet Van Gogh’s self portraits. Everyone is invited to join the painter poem party!
Vincent Could Have Told You
eyes catching light play
all ways fleeting here to there
oranges splashing blues
Please visit Echostain’s blogcasa for all the Vincent poems–and all the other interesting furnishings in her casa–including at least one talking head. Yes, you read that right, a talking head. Seek and ye shall find the lady. And lots of cake too! ==>> http://echostains.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/poetry-challenge-vincent-could-have-told-you/

Oh thank you for the wonderful prompt, Echostains. Sorry I was a tad late to the poem painter party. Like very much all the different takes on Vincent. Much fun!

Like that line, “oranges splashing blues”, Eva. Fits Van Gogh perfectly!

LOL–thank you, Leslie! I kept playing with those words–and well, fruit oranges, musical blues, paint splashes, eyes flashing etc…and it was all ‘him’ from my perspective too.
