The Starry Night

The Starry Night

by Elizabeth Ji
( The Starry Night is a favoratie master piece of both my daughter and me. Here is a poem by her inspired by this painting. Don't remind us that the dark stuff going upwards is a tree instead of fire - she knows it.)

The hauling wind and stars so bright
Rose up with the fire in the night,
But down in the village they mostly feared
That their homes were not quite right.
