Van Gogh's Ear | Poem

 
Van Gogh's Ear
 

how much greed is enough

panhandling blood of my art

by wannabe Mable Dodges?

Take money from the rich

if you must,

But give it to the poor

Or

Answer to my Ear!

- Vincent's Ghost

That's Not My Father
and somehow
this poem still
begins with
"and"
somehow I am still among the
breathing
this morning
of mornings
somehow is a big word this morning
seven letters which
question the word "how"
by God above
somehow
somehow we shall challenge
some how we will
we will
persevere
somehow we will triumph
somehow
- David Jackson
