Poem -
Egg Yolk on a Comet's Tail
For The Magnificent Vincent Van Gogh
It is I, who lays awake night after night
my mind going round
on its very own carousel of madness
that never seems to quiet down
so I look, I look up at the stars
from my bedroom window
gazing up at the stars forever hoping
I see my very own comet?
the beauty I see up there
I hope one day to see within myself
I’m yet to see the comet
It is I, who lays awake night after night
my mind going round
on its very own carousel of madness.

lol if I wasn't imagining that this poem was written by Vincent himself then yes , although he was more genius than potty. Thank you dear sparrowsong 🌹
An insight no less, imagining the future of yourself: value for wellbeing amongst ( angst )? Shows foresight which is wise. 🤔
Dear Rory, I was simply studying his picture imagining where the idea came from, his comet was his fame, the picture shows stars that look like eggs. He was never famous in life but only in death. So he was and still is his very own comet. Thank you, lovely to see you and it's lovely to hear what the reader takes from my scribbles. Thank you. 🌹
Nevertheless whose ever foresight it may have been, my case rests.
That's the best and most favourite part of the arts for me, thank you so much Rory, 100% agreed. 🌹
Okay I have looked at others' comments and your responses and I get the writing of the poem from Van Gogh's point of view. But I do think you may have also written a poem for all those insomniacs among us, of whom there are many. The first 4 lines do that superbly. Plus the repetition of the first 3 at the end of the poem emphasises that. 🌹
Delving into the mind of Vincent Good morning my dear Bernie, I think we all have a certain amount of madness within, I studied him at school and I just was always inspired he even cut his ear off to awaken his brilliance and fame, alas he was never to known yet now all this time later we can express for him and in his shoes just by looking at his art, a genius for me, thank you so much dear Bernie, you know by now in like to try every sort of theme and van Gogh will appear in others too. Happy Friday my dear today I will focus on comedy. 🌹 After all it's Friday dear Poet.
Indeed it is Friday. Look forward to your comedic offerings my dear friend. 🌹
