Swirling night falls.
A deep blue creeps over a sleepy town.
The church bell sounds and seems to say
“All is well ‘till dawning day.”

A brilliant crescent slips though the sky,
Guided by her sister stars.
The shining spheres calm those below
With cooling light, a tranquil glow.

A twisted shape stands guard,
Gnarled with the passage of time.
It’s stood unfazed for a hundred years
Through human strife, pain and tears.

I did not paint this! This is a picture of the original by van Gogh! I wrote the poem which was inspired by the painting! :D

This was for a small in-class assignment last year in 12th grade english. We were supposed to pick a painting from around the room (there were bunches on the walls) and then just write a poem about it using imagery and stuff. I came across this a couple days ago and I thought, hmm, this isn't entirely crap... So I'm going to submit it cause I'm sick and tired of my stupid ID being up there!!! And Padmé might not be done for a couple days *sigh* I've been procrastinating on the hair, cause as you all know, I hate hair. Especially curly hair, it scares me.

I hope they don't get after me for using van Gogh's Starry Night for the image, but that's the painting that inspired the poem... And he's been dead for ages, so there =p
