These standing stones, these monoliths, that we all admire,
Were dragged here many moons ago, to marvel at, inspire.
The mystery of their provenance is hard to entertain,
But there they are, defiant, proud, on this vast and open plain.
Some monoliths lie two abreast, some just simply stand,
As if they were just scattered by some vast and cosmic hand.
The architect of this grand design knew of the effect,
That viewing these stones from miles around would have on heart and intellect.

Stonehenge and the thoughts it provokes is so amazing. Great ode to a great place.
Thanks Alessa
Caro,
I wrote a research paper on Stonehenge in college, and have been fascinated by it ever since. I’ve never seen it in person, however. Have you ever heard of the tongue-in-cheek Nebraska take on Stonehenge? Take a look: http://www.carhenge.com/
Carhenge is cool!
Wow this is cool.
Thank you!
I wish I could go see this and even more I wish I knew how they did it. There is no scientific explanation.
Brilliant, huh?
Love that rainbow!
Me too!
I love Stonehenge! Beautiful poem.
Thanks Carol
