Notes About The Poem

Men of Old




Standing stones or giant bones
The mighty men of great renown
Their spirits dwell where they fell
rock, snow, and ice abound

Returning to walk the earth
from deep within the ground
Do sleeping giant's dream
inside mountains all around

Good question Tidy Desk. Maybe it's the sleeping giants that are responsible for the earthquakes and volcanic actiivity the earth has been experiencing lately. I really like this one. Nice and tight. Wazza

this sounds like a fantasy poem (sorry if I'm wrong) and a beautiful one at that.

Thank you for your kind comments, yes it would fall into fantasy, although many cultures around the world believe giants walked the earth at some point in our past, take care.
