Moonlight Douzette

A Haiku basket of Moody Nights

Painting by Louis_Douzette

I thought I would be understood without words— Vincent Van Gogh

moon smudged firmament
traveller takes soggy road
dream night incarnate

I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort, disappointment and perseverance — Vincent V Gogh

night golden floating
aqua splitted home beckons
nocturnal confab

Painting by Louis_Douzette

But what I wanted to say is this ,After the period of melancholy is over you will be stronger than before, you will recover your health and you will find the scenery around you so beautiful that you will want nothing but paint — Vincent V Gogh

silver sky suspend
shimmery lake lend milieu
mind-fête-champêtre

Author’s Note:
The moment the paintings popped up on my screen, I wanted to belong.

Painted by German painter Carl Ludwig Christoph Douzette (1834–1924),are canvases you cannot let go.
Taken to art from a tender age of 14, working his way up, from his father’s
Company as a decorative painter to becoming a landscape painter of reckoning, his success lay in capturing nights in their ‘mood’ which earned him the moniker “ Moonlight Douzette”.

This is art for you. It takes you to places you can never go yet want to be present there, in that moment.

Thank you Pierre Trudel Jenny Justice Tapan Avasthi Heidi Franklin and American Haiku for publishing my poems.

Thank you for your visit.
