A Haiku about Art

42nd Street
the sign Uncle Vanya sheds
light on me


World Kigo Database (Anton Chekhov)

Note: My haiku alludes to Louis Malle's 1994 film, Vanya on 42nd Street, an "intimate, interpretive performance of the play Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov based on the English translation by David Mamet." This film has been well received among Chekhov's readers.
