Poetry
Starry Night
by Jude Stumpf, age 8
Jude Stumpf
In an art museum in Chicago
my dad and Van Gogh stare at each other.
On a kitchen table in Sanford
my mom watches me draw.
In the museum gift shop
my dad buys me a print of Starry Night.
At home in my room
Starry Night hangs above my bed,
calming like a space gallery,
yellow,
white,
black,
and blue.
