Nice come back on the poem
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful painting! Your words match wonderfully. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteHonestly Goatman, dying once was well enough for me thank you! I'm really not looking forward to the next and most likely last time for this life.
ReplyDeleteIt go against my better judgement to tempt the fates as I am likely to do.
What's your reasoning?
I'm always trying to save things I can't see myself.
Take Care,

Good evening Goatman,
ReplyDeleteAs usual I love the words you use, and the picture is great lovely :)

ReplyDeletethank you
Hey, love the dialogue style and love the image too. I'd be going in...even if it meant I died a second death!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that gate and the poem is beautiful. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork, I am inspired by it, want to do some NOW! Your words ring a bell, sounds just what I heard at the gate I think, good writing Goatman!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out this Artist too.

ReplyDeleteinteresting point of view from another guy who prefer to go in.

Goodevening Goatman, it's lovely to hear from you, hope you have been well! thank you so much for your comment on my site(I have left you a message there as well) :>
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Goatman!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Goatman! I'd be going through the gate as well...safe and sound can be boring. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about Ginger Cook.
Hi Goatman, I just read your comment (thank you for visiting) and alas, no I have no idea, but I will ask DC my husband, he is much more knowledgeable than me and let you know as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteThe other ditch is my audio blog Middle Ditch, quirky tales of village life. Each episode is between four and six minutes long. You might like it. It is also broadcast on a French radio station for the expats living there.
Hi, it's me again. DC doesn't know but said try to google him.
ReplyDeleteOnly just got that joke (stupid me) Middle Ditch lies between Lower Ditch and Higher Ditch ha-ha-ha
Just posted episode twelve there.
hey goatman... interesting piece written for the art work you are portraying
ReplyDeleteHey Goatman,
ReplyDeleteHope Your Easter Holiday has been peaceful ... but, now its time for laughs :-D
Hi goatman,
ReplyDeleteits been a long while :). How are you?
thats a lovely painting, and yes, the garden is indeed too tempting!!
Dying once
ReplyDeleteI love that line
thanks for visiting my blog!
Hi Goatman,
ReplyDeleteI stopped by for a visit and a saunter through a gate I see. Poem and painting work well together.
You don't write here often, but when you do, it's always special. I don't mind waiting because I know a visit here is always going to be worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteYour poem shows a bit of your courage.
I sent you an email, to the address that's in your profile.
Just strolling through the door ;-)
ReplyDeleteC U
This is a beautiful blend of painting and poem, Goatman. I especially like these lines:
ReplyDelete"just remember the last time
wasnt that bad, we only died once!"
Excellent!
Couldn't help but walk through that opened gate still a curious child! Books on stone walls of New England by Robert M. Thorson might be of interest. We recently attended a lecture on the subject and it was fascinating.
