Written by one who has stood amongst ancient stone monoliths and heard the ghosts of history speak his name. ----- Anger Stones, world's splintered bones Shinning bright in the pale moon light Where wailing wind whispers past pain Stand by them late to learn your fate Where voices speak a future bleak For the dead know more than your name No, listen not upon that spot To hear the moan of angry stone Know not the truth that they proclaim Shun the future and its torture That strips innocence from ignorance And vanquishes hope from life's game |

Yes, ignorance can be bliss, 'they' say. This is a bit scary. Well written, very smooth! Denise |

Andrew~ This is magnificently moving. The monolithic stones have many tales deep in their caverns. The legends of the past and the visions of the future are moaning. 'For the dead know more than your name' Thank you for sharing such a powerful piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Very nice, Andrew... So, who needs crayons when you can paint a picture such as this with words.. Delving into history can be quite an overwhelming experience, can't it? Your poem reminds me of the feeling I had when I stood beside the remains of a triceratops - knowing that creature lived in our world long before the Great Rocky Mountains that now protect the remains of its kind... Nice work, my friend..  |

Thanks for checking in. Lady D: Thank you for your kindness. Lady Marge: I bow to you and yours with thanks. Sir Balladeer: I am most honored by your words. Many thanks kind Sir. Lady Nan: Thank you so much... but I love my crayons too. ... I know what you mean standing next to those ancient beasts.Lady Hoot: Right back at cha my dear. Again, Thanks to one and all... you are all such an inspiration. Peace! |
