This poem has a great flow to it when read aloud. The picture perfectly illustrates the poetry. I kept looking at it as I read aloud. Majestic!

My military family's motto was "strength in numbers." This still rings true and is rock solid. {Pun intended.} A wonderful response to the prompt, J.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the challenge,

An outstanding poem here, Jim. Your images are powerful ones and they all tell the story as you very aptly weave it stanza by stanza.

Excellent free verse and story within, my friend

I think if I saw these statues in the dark I would be quite threatened, but here you refer to them as guarding you from evil, I enjoyed your free-write here describing these fearful looking stone statues, love Dolly x

This speaks a nice story about the stony sentinels standing guards, as if two on the right and two on the left, night travelling is safe with them; enjoyed the read; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

That's some really interesting thoughts on the UFO connection and Easter Island. I like how you have turned those thoughts into a poem, it gives a sense of deep thought to the possibilities. A wonderful poem.

You certainly met the challenge here. Quite the story in the mind of the front and center character. He wraps it up well with his cogitating thoughts of his companions. Quite good!

Comment from January L'Angelle

I love that you chose to be the one in the middle that is smiling! That is a very cute perspective. Especially because you wrote this so seriously. I like that you became a part of the poem and the picture. The words that you chose were so eloquent. I just glanced at the picture at first and read right away. Then I realized there were 5 stones and you were the 5th in the middle. This poem put a smile on my face. This is beautifully written. -January L. :)
