Yeah, Discom - Van Gogh was a bit discombobulated at times too!
Glad you liked it!

Many thanks, Wiley - and I don't know Hank Snow, so that's equal!
I've heard of him. I know a few of those old American singers - like Jimmie Rodgers for example. I expect Hank Snow was Canadian, though, was he? He should be with that name.

"Van Gogh’s ears / Fall like the swirling stars." Yup, it's official, that's one of my favorite bits you've written.
Maybe it's because Van Gogh is my favorite artist?

Wowie, I'm impressed as heck 'cuz I don't really run in those circles at all but no matter. I have been to Vienna I think but was heavy drinker back then so didn't study the arts. I don't think Hank Snow played with those fella's either. Love your sonnets old pal
Happy Easter

Hello Najwa and thanks.
Yes, i bet you love much music and art, too. Taghoor is not someone I know. I've heard of Tagore, the Indian poet.

If I was American, Moon, I could rhyme it like this-
Ears of Van Gogh / fall like the snow
But as I'm British, it's rather hard to rhyme it with anything. We pronounce it with a sort of 'ochhh' sound. Och aye.

and the music lives for ever through every sigh
when the sky will open her doors and cry
When the sun will be the book of the history
None could understand the ARTS mystery
But TAGHOOR music lived in my soul
And his words were the blossom to the all
i love your poem and it is unique
what i wrote gift for you .

Thanks Rae - you just can't help but think of a wintry night, with lights
blazing from some palatial theatre and fur-clad ladies and their husbands clambering out of carriages onto the snowy ground, the Alps in the distance, their snowy caps visible in the moonlight, etc etc...

Tony -A feast of masters of the art world, sprinkled with a dash of French
flair, and German genius, and all else to satiate the appeties of the most avid connoiseurs.
Great piece of work!
