Men-An-Tol Poem by Bob Gibson

Men-An-Tol

Rating: 5.0


many have passed through this ancient stone
this granite, hollowed, magic roan
stepping backwards through its centre
seven times a baby would soon venture
nine times for the ricketed child
passed through naked meek and mild
a pixy guardian seeks and cures
belief in its power endures
be there when the moon is whole
the Crick Stones power will extol

A lively and very informative description of a Men-an-Tol - - passing through the hole is performed with enthusiasm by the many here in Cornwall where the Cornish have the same stones.... maybe the power will be even more enhanced as the Solstice is now with us! ! ..... who knows... but thanks for a fine verse Bob....10 + ++ from Fay.
