 so speaks the men of stone they who are the gods remaining from sand cities long walked to brine their voices are the leaves there when they rub against granite mornings that thistle edge of edgy moaning their voices are the winds there when they play as children hugging shins reading names as forgotten whispers their voices are the rains there when they tap finger tips slippery hoofbeats of miniture horses galloping only the men of stone may listen now _________________ daark |

taste a bit of Poe in this... the word play I suppose... at any rate, a fine piece sir that gives one pause to reflect on those men of stone and what they have done, who they were... enjoyed the view in....this reflective pause |

R.I.P. A fitting eulogy. I don't usually ctrl-V quote with italics but here 'tis: so speaks the men of stone they who are the gods remaining from sand cities long walked to brine ...that's a rather deep reflection upon the role of time, and the entire poem is very, very good, imho. |

Yes, certainly a lot of depth to this. A most moving write and, to an extent, a surprising one. I love surprises. Helen |

Nodding. You are, m'friend, a masterful poet, and although you have the talent for me to see your words in my mind, I do love the photo. One of my pet projects is to have Fort Jackson dug out and preserved--I always felt like I'd walked through a portal when I'd go there--I felt their pain, their sorrows, and even the occasional mischief and laughter of the soldiers who haunted the place. *blush* I apologize for the meandering story...they are quite often pointless, but I had hoped to convey that I understand the urge to whisper in a place once noisy with gunfire and cannon. You, sir, are a writer, and as such, you evoke the understanding response of...stories.  Must have some hobbit blood in ye. *laughing*Thank you for this one. |
