Hi Carol,
I do have a confession to make. I live about a 45 minute drive away and I have never stopped to look at the stones. I have seen them from the car but never actually visited them. I love your poem and the style. As always a great read.

This is a poem that could be in the read and learn section of the library. It gives us just enough so that I was thinking that I knew what it was talking about, then gradually gave me some reassurance. Great poem. :-)

    Thank you, I always learn in writing these things myself. This is a part of history that fascinates me,

Ah, so that's how they pulled it off, 'ey, Carol? I know there's been much speculation on how exactly those stones were erected where they are, as they are, given the age.
Helicopters are out of the equation.
Cranes? Fogetaboutit.

But now the mystery's been solved, thanks to this wonderfully written rendition of the Awdl Gynt form.

    Mystery solved!! You're welcome :)

    It's quite amazing, honestly, and it all happened so long ago...

    I know, I've always wondered how it was really done.
    You're very welcome, Carol.

At last, Carol - a BELIEVABLE mythical explanation for the building of Stonehenge. A giant helped, and why didn't I think of that? After all that work, I wonder if he became rather hungry and ate all his little helpers. ;-)

Wonderful original meter and top rhymes.

Great enjambment.

Terrific 'oldy-worldy' poetic language.

A TREAT to read, my friend.

Here's a sixer.

Cheers, Ray xx

    Yes, the giant helped Merlin! It all makes perfect sense :))

    Thank you so much, Ray!

    Thank you, John, I figured you'd like this one. One day soon I'd like to see the standing stones for myself...especially Callanish. :))

    Thanks so much, Jax! I've never been to the UK, but must go soon. Maybe Gynt and I will do a book tour - lol.

When i saw the title of this i thought we were going down a completely different folk tale route but this was one i havent heard before.

We could well use tis by eay of introduction or tailpiece to the book. That will be my number one priority when I get home.

    Right, I'll be home by then too. How's the trip going? Where are you exactly? Hope you're having fun :)

This is another amazing poem that I enjoyed reading. Your descriptions, word choices, poetic form, and flow are all wonderful. I particularly like:
"Now, walk within the groves of oak;
the ancient folk are here.
You'll see perhaps a swirl of cloak,
bespoke with waves of fear."

    Thank you so much. This was kind of difficult with the internal rhymes, I have to admit. I really appreciate your comments and stars :)))
