Oh my gosh! This is awesome! I love the "reaching for the stars" phrase. That phrase is so common but I have never seen it used like this. The meeting of a more modern phrase with a historical picture makes the poem very memorable. Great writing:)
I may not be on here often but when I am I will peek at your stuff!

This art inspired poem, The Astronomer, presented as a 5-7-5, brings the feeling from the painting that the subjects mind is seeing the heavens from his study.

I like your word play of "he reached for the stars" in your 5-7-5. You covered the key elements of Vermeer's painting in just these three lines! Best wishes in the contest!

Beautiful poem! Vermeer is one of my favorite artists! He always had such interesting ways to paint light and how it falls on different textures. You created a lovely haiku that does justice to this painting! Good luck in the contest.
Thanks for sharing.
