Vincent Van Gogh’s Yellow

by Myrna Martin

Hints of yellow in the water at The Sea at Les Saintes…
Yellows in the Sunflowers…
Standing in the vase…
Wheatfield With Crows…
And The Starry Night…
Bedroom in Arles…
And so the list goes…
Cafe Terrace at Night…
The Red Vineyard…
The Yellow House…
Wheatfield With Cypress Trees…
The Harvest…
L’Arlesienne…
Landscape with Snow…
And you can see Vincent Van Gogh’s Yellow…
Self Portrait With A Straw Hat…
And so the list goes…
Arles: Views From The Wheatfields…
Farmhouse In Provence…
And I wonder if yellow called to him…
Like it does for me…
Vincent Van Gogh’s Yellow…
With hints of it in the sea…

Picture of the Horse

by Myrna M. Martin

I was looking through some papers…
In a blue tub packed away…
It has been years since I saw this drawing…
I forgot about it, I must say…
But, then when I looked at it…
My eyes filled with tears…
A beautifully drawn picture…
Done in 1988, way back then…
I have it out now…
Awaiting a special frame…
To hang on my wall, and remember…
My Dad’s stroke of the pen…
