Challenge
Imagine Vincent Van Gogh as a poet as much as he was a painter. Take one of his paintings and bring them to life with words.
Burning Skull
“Juvenile joke” they called it
“A most macabre work”
Skull with Burning Cigarette
If all art is a reflection of one’s very life
Then the sentiments of my life
Should be no surprise
Consumed with abdominal ailments
And rotting teeth
But to give up my pipe and drink
Would be a travesty…
Head of a skeleton with burning cigarette
Vincent Van Gogh
January 1886 – February 1886
