We’re not going back to that God forsaken grounds.

What was Stone Henge
but monoliths on the run
escaping from a church yard
where they formed a circle
out in the fields
and pledged never to return
to sacred grounds,
and they did.
Amen.

I love the whimsy in this and all your writing. But I'm afraid I got to say visit Stonehenge and then write it again. And talk about the atmosphere in your own inimitable style. Or rather visit my favourite Avebury.
Although as an aside the last time I was there they were selling a Stonehenge burger from a fast food van. I mean really!

Hi Ken, I visited Stonehenge in 1997 rather remote setting but still impressive and I think it was roped off back then. I know I wanted to feel the rocks. Sadly it had so many tourist buses, mini vans and cars which spoilt the overall effect but seeing them from a distance was impressive. And yes there was a fast food van there if I remember correctly. My best part of the trip was visiting the Channel Islands like Jersey walking out at low tide to the castle fortress and its surrounds and was Bergerac country from the tv series. The main town was so pretty and the pubs all had more females than guys , a ratio of 10 to 1, I couldn’t believe it I was in heaven lol. But I loved Stonehenge, pity about daylight savings though having to move the rocks back or forward an hour .😉
