This work has reached the exceptional level

yes this 5/7/5 Art poem captures a well documented troubled aspect of Van Gogh's life as a painter of world renown - so effectively conveyed within the constraints of the format

I wanted to give you a heads-up review. The contest rules say, "no author notes." This poem appears to have author notes, which you may want to remove.

We are so fortunate to have this memorable painting at the Art Institute in Chicago. Your 5-7-5 (as well as your notes) clarifies the contrast between what Van Gogh saw and what he was feeling. The Speaker sounds as if he could be the painter's therapist.

Dear Mystery Poet,

What a lovely piece of art you've chosen as your muse! This is one of my favorites of all times belonging to the Masters. *smile* And I must say, your poem fits the scene perfectly. Good luck in the contest!
