pop-up snowstorm
the swirl of Van Gogh’s
starry nights
—MARIANNE PAUL
I've certainly written a lot of haiku and haibun around Vincent van Gogh, but never combined snow and that wonderful painting I had the privilege to see up close in Amsterdam and London.
I love the idea, and have experienced, pop-up snowstorms! And I've experienced the swirls of Van Gogh's brushstrokes when I couldn't believe it, but I was able to be a couple of millimetres away from his wheatfields painting, and it had no glass front. The brushstrokes continue to be mesmerising the closer you get to them.

Nice…
Faithful is a phenomenon
To its resurrection …
Where are we remembered?!
