Thank you, Michael and Sylvia for your comments :) Yesterday evening as I was reading EllenM's poem and then Daveboyz post, War Horse, was on the TV, not a film I can watch, far to emotional... So, my response will give a little recognition to one of our loyal friends, the horse. Many year ago I read how they trained dogs to blow up tanks, horrendous.

As a horse lover from an early age, I can only imaging how heart breaking it was to care for these horses in such despairing conditions. My grandfather, was also a horseman during WW1 There was a picture of him in uniform on his horse, displayed in their home, my mother always wondered where it went after her mother past away. Such a shame to lose such an item. I can remember seeing it when a child. Ellen, that is a humdinger of a painting, so poignant of the era.

Lets try again! day at the henge (acrostic) Stones Time travellers never moving always shifting Alliance of shadows below them forever circling Nomadic sighs gather silent ancient spirits Drawn by a union of celestial energies In the bounds of the pillars a woman lingers Notes the time takes an apple from her sack Grinds a knife on a monolith carves a slice and moves on

Interesting poem Carol, good job. Its a monument that speaks to us, so mysterious and archaic and with such a history...your poem captures some of that mysticism.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Spammers galore, go sling your hook At your spam we hate to look. You’re wasting time, both yours and mine. Don't you think that it's a crime to annoy the readers with this trash. We all paint. Why not give it a bash?
