I think the painting is beautiful and the last line of the poem is quite funny,(the poem is great!) but I choose to believe differently. Thats why this is such a great site. Thanks for sharing!

Oh - I love the watercolour Michael and as for the poetic confession of non-belief I can imagine God smiling at that very last line - as I did. x

Thanks MICHAL ~ Perfect painting complemented by a perfect poem and vice-versa ! I like the structure of the poem \"Free verse quintets\" which gives you infinite linguistic freedom. It has perfect meter and personally I would not change a single word. There are 16,000 Medieval Churches in ENGLAND and 26,000 others ! You poem reminds us that each one is a very precious part of our Heritage and it is a COMMUNITY responsibility to preserve them. They are Havens of Peace in a very restless World ! Thanks for caring. ~ Please check my Poems ~ Thanks BRIAN.

Actually Edward Lear is usually regarded as the gold standard when it comes to limericks but in my humble opinion he cheated. In the first and last lines he almost invariably used the same place name - talk about making it easy! Well I\'ve not fallen into that trap - yet!.

Thanks MICHAEL for an excellent free verse Poem ~ in triplets ~ and Painting ~ perfect symbiosis ! I love the conjunction of rivers and the sea and estuaries are great places to observe wild life and for recreation. Your poem has captured their essence. Thanks you for caring ~ BRIAN
