Stone Ring monorhyme

Majestic stones stood in a ring
while birds flew by on the wing
this once was a place of kings
who spent their time battling

Their foes were now for beheading
this fate was cruel but befitting
a warning for others come warring
with every intention of acquiring

War horses swift of feet cantering
plunging with battle lust capering
the knights so proud are gathering
the stone ring they are honouring

Through the ages cults made offering
changing as they grew up in culturing
yet never the stones change appearing
mystical, powerful capable of conjuring

Hi Shadow

Your poem has excellent rhyme and rhythm. It reminds me of the poems I met in primary school that were memorised and recited.
I found myself going along with the sing-song rhythm as I read it. Well-done!
(I assume it refers to Stonehenge. Please correct me if I am wrong)
Have a nice day!
