I love your poem, it flows so nicely. And it's a lovely message, too. I like to trust the process and that my "guardians" will always lead me where I need to go. Your artwork is awesome, too!

Thank you to the Club and your free verse to transport us to Easter Island! I relished your vivid descriptions like "bottomless crevices of life's daytime burdens". Cheers- Joan

This poem has a lot to say and flows smoothly. It has also pricked my interest to do some research because I do not know about the magenta sash. It is well written. Nicely done.

Comment from Margaret Bednar
I read this poem as if you are personifying the Moai heads themselves; giving them a voice. I imagine this is what they could be saying..."a celestial warrior, seeking the wisdom path"... They truly are mysterious.

Comment from estory
The imagery was really well done in this poem. You have these monoliths, mysterious, archaic, looking forward and backward across time, almost like guardians of your soul. There's black holes and bottomless pits, space travelers across time and space and you seem to contemplate these things through the eyes of these stone monoliths that are a constant in the changing landscape. In many ways I think it speaks of the contemporary idea that each individual can invent his/her own mythology. estory

Comment from Cindy Decker
A lovely poem. I remember learning of these sculptures years ago, and I remember having the argument, are they extraterrestrial beings, were they carved by extraterrestrials, or are they of the native peoples there. I love the photography; it gives a person the sense of something strange or magnificent happened here. I love the line, "emoting to the celestial travelers make space for our nighttime sojourn. It's as if we were visited by aliens some night and they were repulsed by how violent a people we are, left their hello, and left the earth, never to return. You've written such a wonderful poem. Good luck in the contest and all of your writing.

I am out of sixes! This is amazing! I haven't written for this one yet. When I saw it come up, seriously, my minds went BLANK. You have certainly done it justice by so aptly and poetically sharing why that guy in the middle is smiling! GREAT JOB! Very creative!

I love the free verse take you took on one of the reasons for the sentinals guarding that we, for ages, have tried to figure out. Loved the safety route you took as a way of direction. Nicely done
