Poem Artwork

Bridges built in medieval times

Were referred to as devil's bridges.

It seems the construction

Was beyond human knowledge.

 

Some are found in Wales,

Switzerland and in France.

They were made from masonry

And stone, for the most part.

 

A tremendous achievement,

Beyond the scope of many.

Thus some concluding,

There was collusion with the devil.

.....and there is one....popular, medieval,
broken bridge in Europe...my favourite...Sur le Pont
d' Avignon (Pont Saint Benezet), straddled...half way
over the Rhone...where...everyone is dancing in a circle
....on the bridge of Avignon.
Dancing on the bridge...and your awesome poem, George,
gives the same wonderful sense of awe...enjoying the moment.
Thank you for sharing. With warm regards Isabella.

Interesting these bridges over troubled waters.
Quite interesting the masonry and stone work
of the bridge in this UK art work.

:)) Great thoughts, George! Lovely to read you again - the devil gets blamed for much of which we, as yet, are ignorant; and, with so much outside of our understanding these days, resting in the laps of politicians, global magnates / corporations and techno-geeks, guess it's not wonder we feel we inhabit end times. Twas ever thus. xx

You're in deep murky waters, George. Beware of bridges and trolls and shadowy monsters and things that go "splash" in the night.

Their origin was Roman and the devil made them do it. ;-)

So many people even today refer to what they can't understand to "witchery"or "the work of the devil". Interesting write!
