response to STARRY STARRY NIGHT.

           Starry Night was and is a great poem. I think this for many reasons, first of all, I love art and poetry, and this is poetry about a great piece of art. I like how the author mixed factual evidence with inference about the painting. Like when she said 11 stars, that was factual evidence, but when she said this is how I want to die, that was an inference. In my opinion, while writing about a serious piece of art, its better to make it silly, and sort of turn the whole senerio around, but I also respect the fact that she wrote a great serious poem about the serious piece of art. I guess it works out either way.
