as the meaning of henges, sky
why we get so rooted
in forgotten landscapes
walk as far as you can, farther
past the last stone, then the causeway
step out onto the loch

Yes, but I didn’t have 42 words! So maybe for the fiction/poetry grid, or I’ll try again for 42. 🙂

I know I’m not reading this right.
as the meaning of henges, sky ( assume this refers to stonehenge?) but does sky go to this line or the next?

Hm, I read with a hard break after “sky,” but I also read the title into the first line. If that helps (?)

Adding the title does help a lot! I am still “hearing” sky wrong. I know it! I keep hearing in my head “henge’s sky” but that isn’t right 🙂

Ah, it should probably be “henges and sky.” Thank you, it’s good to know when I’m causing confusion! 🙂

I really did like the imagery. the words henges and loch, imo, really set the mood.

Jennifer, I loved the rhythm of your poem. And I just love love love poems that end with an invitation: “step out onto the loch.” Thank you for writing!
