Long, Long Ago

Long, Long Ago

Was long, long ago
Custom presume is pagan
Habits that they had.

Prehistoric people built Stonehenge
The rumors about this never end.
Predicting the moon
Sun or monsoon
Spiritual place on a road with a bend

Stonehenge sang to me.

                                   Singing stone-age ancestors.

                                      They chant in the stars.

Travel through time across ages.
The energy field is still as powerful.
Stonehenge, a raw primitive enigma.

Wayne the Builder

There once was a builder called Wayne,
Who built a new house on a plain,
But his wife took fright
On their wedding night:
He’d forgotten the roof again.

Crumble To Dust - 5 Line Contest

My inner Stonehenge
Shielding memories, encircled within
a circle of stone, no code to crack
time to let go, to not look back
let your circle of stones crumble to dust

Premium Member Rightly Vexed

We know that the English are rightly vexed
Queen Mary we bought; London Bridge annexed
Big Ben's up for bidding
So's the Thames, we aren't kidding
Then London and Leeds and Stonehenge are next

Premium Member Zeus Fought For Picnicking Rights

Zeus fought the elves and the gargoyles for Stonehenge picnicking rights
Stonehenge laughed at this, thinking Zeus was insane
And of course he might have been but who in their right mind
will tell that to a god?
Even if it is a little god
not the big one.

Stonehenge

Tourists pay to view it now,
Hundreds at a safe distance,
Shuffling in line around it, 
No contact with it, no time to connect.

Who can say what it once was,
Why it was built, and by whom,
What significance it held
In the hearts and minds of our forefathers.

Splitting Heirs

A little dance around Stonehenge
As KCIII plots his revenge
No longer ignored
The King hones his sword
Heads will roll as pseudo friends cringe

KCIII's new horrorscope reads:
"Guess what? Today, William succeeds!
The stars explain
Your drop of reign
You plotted revenge but not deeds!"

Aeronaught

Discussing together, faire play
We sustain the living
The position of hews
The generation of does
Succession of woes, Stonehenge
Phoenix, of the United Hacking Ass
Returns, flying clearly, fairly, disbussing
We fly this far
We fly with a Cinquento
With a purpose, but half the man of Aeronaught.

Stonehenge

Eerie beauty and mystery
Permeate gray stones
Forming a temple,
An observatory, a timepiece
For Britain's earliest arrivals
Who left ancestors buried
In pagan mounds awaiting
The Anglican God.
By moonlight the Druids,
Wandering the grounds
Once their domain,
Performed ceremonial rites 
Not revealed by the ages.

Stonehenge

breathing life 
into envisaged giants
our days were long
but calling
we finished standing
these stones of time
their face our face
our hands were bleeding
as we sank into the ground
left a future in our wake
diminished
we knew we had to do it
but to their colossus 
we now rest in peace
to set all peace to come

Stonehenge (For Huitzilopochtli))

Four thousand years ago the Celt
Raised a ring of rocks around
Patterns on the English ground.

And there the Druid maidens felt
Bronze-age daggers at the heart,
Hacking, hewing them apart.

Then the pagan priests began
Chanting prayers and splashing red
Till the glutton gods were fed.

And thus the rituals of mere man
Echo clear the ancient call,
Haunting Mankind since the Fall.

Stonehenge

From immemorial time
 on England’s plains
 the Stonehenge stands –
 pendulous rocks over life precipice.
 
Produced by a culture
 that had no written records.
 Sun clock, devoted to circling sun -
 religious site of healing?
 
The sacred burial place
 of prehistoric ring of standing stones.
 Suspended stones as heavenly dome -
 devoted to afterlife’s achieving.

We have left you many cave drawings
Built the Great Pyramids everywhere
How dare you ignore our many signs
Stonehenge is our Stargate tether

We left you some of our technology
Which in ways was obviously hoarded
Building blocks of peace and prosperity
We see now has been utterly distorted

There will be a time for this reckoning
Our belief in humankind still remain
We hear billions of you minds beckoning
We are coming now to provide a change

Premium Member I Can't Steal You

I can steal the gold in ole Fort Knox
Steal the loot in a pirates box
I can steal a stone from Stonehenge site
Steal the cape from a vampire knight
 
But I can't steal you
Just when I might
He holds on tight
I can't steal you
 
I can steal a bike from a cycle bunch
Steal a dinner from a lions lunch
I can steal the gate where the devil stay
Steal so quick the time of day
 
But I can't steal you
Just when I might
He holds on tight
I can't steal you

Everythings Green

Mr. Armstrong

an alien unseen

wrote with my pen

saying frog legs

are an order undone...

so what would it mean

if the play of the day

played out onscreen

would the Stonehenge astronaut

know where to begin

gone for so long

dragon Sang

Sung that song

and so what of

the Jedi Queen

away on holiday

in the space between

"it's hardly two worlds"

to know where I've been...

"so hear I am

to appear amid

the four-seen"

The Cradle of Civilization

Who wouldn't like to know 
The rapture of trees,
Of caw, caw,
Chirp, chirp,
Swoosh, swoosh--
Silent beginnings,
Before thought breaks in?

Become your own
Cradle of civilization;
The fertile crescent
Of your own creativity;
The joy of sunrise
At Machu Picchu;
Or Stonehenge in your
Own backyard.

Daily rituals
Praise the dirt and clover.
Butterflies travel great distances,
Creating a network
Of helping wings that
Cover the globe with
Joy and gratitude.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge
by Michael R. Burch

Here where the wind imbues life within stone,
    I once stood
and watched as the tempest made monuments groan
    as if blood
boiled within them.

Here where the Druids stood charting the stars
    I can tell
they longed for the heavens ... perhaps because
    hell
boiled beneath them?
