The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights. Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings. For details, click into the IBPC nomination forum.

The one notable effect - I find - of these challenges, is how differently Members see and respond to them! Most intriguing to say the least!
I sometimes wonder why? Is it the education we underwent when young? Our bent towards the arcane, history, or ..... what? I know many of the 'triggers' that set my mind into following a theme, come from my schooling. History and Ancient Greek, Roman and other subjects, were front and centre of the education I received. Anyone have other ideas? I'll love to know. In the mean time, I enjoy reading what other poets offer - and more so when the offering is far different from my own. Incidentally I enjoyed this poetic endeavour of yours Larry. Probably more so because I know Stonehenge very well! My home in Dorset was not that far away and I often passed it close by, when we visited my parents. Pictures alone do not do it justice. It emanates an atmosphere which is both captivating and awe inspiring. It possesses an air of mystery which has to be experienced first hand to feel! It's not the only place I have visited, that affects me as a visitor in this manner! Some would have us believe it has much to do with Ley Lines. As I can experience the "force" of this phenomena, - I am a water diviner, dowser or twitcher - depending on where you hail from - I feel there could well be some truth in this theory! Hard to prove! For now? Nice job, well done. Ciao Denis aka Rhymer. |
