Before Ancient Times

After I finished my studies I was going to become an archaeologist, as it has always fascinated me, but someone better, and more loving came into my life after 20 years (we used to go out, and then broke up married someone else and finally both got divorced and met up by accident nearly 21 years later. My wonderful Husband Elias. A beautiful poem Harry my friend. Hugs and blessings. I see I have commented, but this poem needed another comment. Jennifer.

I am a big fan of old stone structures, and stand and think the same wonderings. How fascinating it would be to be able to see those times in real time. Enjoyed reading, Best, SuZ

Many things left to the imagination; the curious poet enlivens such things!

here is one I missed which I find brilliant in its simplicity. A fave.

Wonderful poem, harry. You've painted a masterpiece with your words. Maybe the artifact will be found by a future generation :)

Wonderful imagary. So visual. well done.

Hello Harry … I often think about how life was so long ago when spending every day searching for food and fending off rivals. Certainly a poem to show that nature will reclaim - thank you Harry - Lindsay

History and its relics have always fascinated me. I once collected arrowheads on the farm we lived on in the mid 60s.. Love your poem.. A FAV...

I would have loved to have studied archaeology, so much so that I used to speak to Ricky about it - he was 8 years old in Grade 2 and they were playing hangman on the blackboard with the teacher - Ricky decidied to put Archeologist, not even the teacher got it, and she told me when i collected Ricky after school - Ancient buildings, ancient relics, ancient skeletons all fascinate me - I absolutely love this wonderful poem Harry Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

beautifully handled...most structures need to be unhinged; these are our legacy... nice one, harry!..huggs

Great entry! Harry. I started to write one for this contest, but as usual...I was too late. I might post it when I finish it! lol! ~Elaine

- ... and we can still see them in nature ... covered with moss - Really solid poem for the contest, Harry - Good luck :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

In Malta we have some temples of Neolithic times. One of them even sows the sun rising during an equinox. Lovely poem. ~~

I think you did this contest very well and did justice to the photo...

Amazing it is to see the work they left behind...well said Harry. All the best.

If only those walls could talk Harry, they'd speak volumes. Tom
