CINQUAIN
Cafe Terrace at Night
Beautiful, difficult
Painting, making, colouring
The painting is beautiful
Starry sky
Night cafe
Colourful, vivid
Shining, relaxing, gossiping
Copying the painting is hard
But it looks real
Night
Peaceful, silent
Living, waiting, dying
The cycle never broken
Eternal
HAIKU
An interesting painter
With a bit different kind of life
It was not easy.
The moving darkness
Hides the terrace into dark
There is nothing left.
AKROSTIH
Night is fabulous in Arles
Irresistible night on the terrace
Gogh's new painting
High quality
Talent of the famous Van Gogh.
Aren't people in the picture alive?
Relaxing, gossiping while drinking coffee
Living the life
Every night is interesting and fun
Starry sky, people do enjoy life.
