Image: A Construction Wonder (here)
Pandering to some forces
Parasol of immense weight
Mysterious appearance dotting
the landscape void of reasons
Perhaps intelligent beings
with untold physical strengths
on whirlwind visits to earth
mustered their draconian order
Unpretentious in design but
of architectural brilliance
devoid of heavy equipment
Could not imagine unlucky
earthlings forced to assist
One often wonders how?

Kerry's at Real Toad's with
Flash Fiction 55 - play it again!
Yeah, would suck to have to assist. Maybe aliens did it though.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed a great question and wonderful photo too!
ReplyDeleteAn imaginative solution to a mystery of engineering!
ReplyDeleteYes there are some amazing feats that are hard to comprehend these days.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, indeed... And now you have me thinking of very muscular aliens.
ReplyDeleteWe wonder why the aliens just used rocks...
ReplyDeleteIt will remain a mystery, but a great poem
ReplyDeleteWas that Stonehenge here in the UK?
ReplyDeleteI went there many years years ago.
Very much like the above photo. Great post Hank.
Yvonne.
We will never know, Hank. This sort of new to us thing helps occupy our minds.
ReplyDeleteThe picture suggests a petrified satellite dish.

methinks they had a LOT of time, with no selfies and whatnot ~
ReplyDeleteWow! Very impressive structure, and I love the 55 you've created from it.
ReplyDeleteImagination can certainly lead to some interesting places!
