Ancient place of unknown use.
The stones are silent.
How long have they stood?
And who were they who built it?
And for what purpose?
Perhaps, observatory?
or is it a church?
Is it a chapel,
for some old and pagan god?
Did Druids live here?
Then they put posts all around.
But the wood posts fell.
Then they put blue stones.
They came all the way from Wales.
No one can say how.
taller, with lintels all 'round.
This, before Egypt.
Today, artists come
to record their impression
Of an age long dead.
when they were building this place,
it would become art?

Marvelously you’ve
shared your visit to Stonehenge!
I have never been
but the image of
this historic site has graced
my ‘desktop’ for YEARS ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Storyteller: Nice 'ku and thanks.
A lovely Haiku to share your journey to Stonehedge. Wonderful photos. It looks like it was a bit chilly there, but the grass and foliage is lush and green. What an amazing experience this must have been to see this in person :)
Great questions. Do you think they knew it would become art. FASCINATING questions.
I need to travel some more. I have the bug now. I am taking all three kids and the husband to Mali, Africa this year. Can't wait.
Love it - both the Haiku and the pictures.
A part of me longs to go there, sigh....
Stonehenge in haiku. A perfect merge of cultures. Brilliant Lou, just brilliant!
I have often wondered about the use of stonehenge and come up empty.
they took their secrets with them
Thanks for all these amazing pictures. I'm embarrassed you've seen more of the UK than I have! BG
Nice photos and great 'ku!
Wow! Amazing pics...I've always wanted to visit - someday...
There is something about Stonehenge that makes me shiver. I would so love to see it in person.
stonehenge is such an amazing mystery.
love the 'ku!
I've never been to Stonehenge, but visited Scotland several years ago and visited numerous (much smaller) circles of standing stones. I hope to see more of the UK in the future.
Great haiku.
We frequent a lot of the same locales, I thought I'd pop over and say Hi. I've come over before, but have no idea if I've commented. Sorry about that.
