		| | One of the delinquents checking in. 
 I am sorry.
 
 So much has been getting in my way recently that I just
 haven't had the time to participate in this fascinating Thread.  And
 I want to. So, the dearth of comments (forgive me) and the lack of
 images is not something I wanted, my life has just been waaaay to
 full of stuff.
 
 I have just wandered quickly through some of the beautiful and fun
 images presented.  They are splendid.
 
 Wonderful to know this Thread is continuing for another month.  I do
 hope I get things under control enough to particpate.
 
 It's a mind-stretcher.
 
 Alice

		| | A quick note - I've been so crazed and I miss this side challenge so much! I don't want it to end. How about we just have it ongoing? There are many ongoing threads, like the humorous title and the pick your fav, etc. Why not this one? 
 Any thoughts? Judy?
 
 ETA - I just read through the thread and saw the lyrics suggestion down there. I'm all for keeping it going as is - including lyrics, poems, prose, quotes, haikus, random thoughts, etc. But let's keep it going!! :o)

 This had been so much fun.  What a great little group we've gathered here over the past month.  I think after two straight months of side challenges, I need to take a a bit of a break, though.  I will check in  with this thread throughout April to keep up with all of the wonderful work, and perhaps post a few myself.  Thanks to everyone for the comments and contributions.  I've thoroughly enjoyed this month of sharing. :)

 I think images are worth repeating
 Images repeated from a painting
 Images taken from a painting
 From a photo worth re-seeing
 I love images worth repeating, project them upon the ceiling
 Multiply them with silk screening
 See them with a different feeling
 Images
 Images
 Images
 Images
 
 Some say images have no feeling, i think there's a deeper meaning
 Mechanical precision or so it's seeming
 Instigates a cooler feeling
 I love multiplicity of screenings
 Things born anew display new meanings
 I think images are worth repeating and repeating and repeating
 
 I'm no urban idiot savant spewing paint without any order
 I'm no sphinx, no mystery enigma
 What i paint is very ordinary
 I don't think i'm old or modern, i don't think i think i'm thinking
 It doesn't matter what i'm thinking
 It's the images that are worth repeating
 Images
 Images
 Images
 Images
 
 If you're looking for a deeper meaning, i'm as deep as this high ceiling
 If you think technique is meaning, you might find me very simple
 You might think that images boring
 Cars and cans and chairs and flowers
 You might find me personally boring
 Hammer, sickle, mao tse tong, mao tse tong -
 I think that it bears repeating the images upon the ceiling
 I love images worth repeating and repeating and repeating
 Images
 Images
 Images
 Images
 
 I think that sums up this month pretty nicely.  THANKS EVERYONE!!!! Here is the link to the new side challenge for April:Verse: a Pictoral Interpretation

		| |   Thanks to Judy for coming up with this wonderful side challenge and to everyone else who participated! This has been the greatest, has encouraged me to come up with some different ways of looking at my cats, and I'll definitely be continuing in April :-)

 I'm the bull of this here place
 I guard it well indeed
 No one enters without permission
 Even young dumb steeds
 
 I survey this fertile ground
 On which I do reside
 Anyone who would challenge me
 Will see my ugly side
 
 I am patient with my bovine gals
 They know what I will do
 When a trespasser wanders by
 Conflict will ensue
 
 I keep to my own in the fields
 I dine on grass and hay
 Impregnating the lady cows
 All the live-long day
 
 There is only one of me
 I have won the prize
 Chosen to sire the lot of them
 Because of my strength and size
 
 So keep yourself away from here
 I have a job to do
 I got a date with a pretty little heifer
 Who just got here, she's new

 This is where my Grannie lived
 In this dusky damp old house
 Always snappin pole beans
 Or chasing some wild mouse
 
 Most of her days were busy
 Busy fixin meals
 Rockin in her metal chair
 Searching want ads for a deal
 
 Poppa worked his strength away
 Churning up the ground
 Planting tobacco for the smokers
 Who always came to town
 
 Son and daughter have moved away
 To bigger brighter things
 No grandkids come to visit
 Empty sits the swing
 
 This is all there seems to be
 Left of as we age
 Going through the motions
 Turn another page
 
 Their youth is far behind them
 Whats left is almost gone
 Closing of a chapter
 They sing another song
 
 Days are coming quicker
 They hold-out another night
 Waiting for the sunrise
 Awake at dawns first light
