Starry, Starry Night (free verse) -Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge - Day 15, Poem 13

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Hi, folks.

I’m back on Day 15 for my 13th Entry to the Steemit School Poetry 100-Day Challenge.
Today I've wanted to write some verses to an artist whose paintings have always caused me mixed feelings of tenderness and melancholy. I made up my mind today as I listened to Don McLean’s “Vincent.”

I'll be glad should you be able to read and comment it.

(Al final, su traducción al español.)

Best of lucks to all contestants.

Starry, Starry Night


Source

                                        Blossoming flares coyly blush
                                                                     on the canvas,
                                        recoiling at the silvering light
                                                                     where dreams blacken,
                                        as maddening strokes burst
                                                                     among sky flowers.

                                        The panting creature grabs hold
                                                                     of the wandering hand;
                                        and dabs dark paint of insanity
                                                                     over the hazing violet,
                                        as snowy hues and amber whacks
                                        revolve around the whirling lights.

                                        —Your starry, starry night
                                        lives on in the saddest song
                                        intoned by the voice
                                        of the brightly blazing,
                                                                     flaming flowers,
                                                                     over your shady hills.




Translation into Spanish:

Las bengalas florean en tímido rubor /sobre el lienzo, /temerosas de la luz plateada /donde los sueños ennegrecen, /mientras perturbadores trazos surgen /entre las flores del cielo. //La criatura jadeante atrapa /la mano errante; /y ensaya trazos de oscura demencia /sobre las sombras violetas, /mientras carices de nieve y ámbar /orbitan luces espirales. //—Tu noche estrellada /sobrevive en la canción más triste /entonada por la voz /de flores flameantes /del intenso brillo, /sobre lúgubres colinas.

As beautiful a the painter's masterpiece itself.

Thanks, @sansoncarrasco. Tell you one thing, this is probably my favorite painting in the world. Could't tell.

Hermoso poema y originales imágenes.
Saludos, @marlyncabrera

Gracias, @sandracabrera ♥ La noche estrellada es quizá mi pintura favorita entre todas ♥

Hermoso y lleno de colores brillantes, @marlyncabrera, como la pintura. El darle movimiento tiene un efecto visual interesante.

Gracias por pasar por aquí y dejar tu comentario, @nancybriti. La verdad el efecto de la pintura en el GIF me da un repelús XD

Blossoming flares coyly blush
on the canvas,
recoiling at the silvering light

Sorry, i am unable to replicate the mark down.
I like what you did here. The personification :) , blossoming flares blushing and recoiling.

<3

If only the painter could reads this :)

I'm so glad you've noticed it, and more, that you've liked it, @fego ♥ Makes me ant to continue; I think I can make it to Day 100; whatever will become of me thereafter XD

Los cielos de Vincent merecen poemas de mujeres sencibles. Él merece todos los reconocimientos, sobre todo: Poemas, mas que rezos; Poemas, mas que ventas millonarias de sus obras. Bellas palabras querida @marlyncabrera.

Qué bellas palabras, @antolinamartell. Por supuesto que han de fascinarte los cielos de Van Gogh; lo sabía. Gracias por pasar por mi blog y detenerte en mi poema; de verdad quería ofrecer algo al pintor, y creo que los poemas llegan a esos sitios donde se van los artistas. ¡Un abrazo! ♥
