Pandering to some forces
Parasol of immense weight
Mysterious appearance dotting
the landscape void of reasons

Perhaps intelligent beings
with untold physical strengths
on whirlwind visits to earth
mustered their draconian order

Unpretentious in design but
of architectural brilliance
devoid of heavy equipment

Could not imagine unlucky
earthlings forced to assist
One often wonders how?
(55 words)

  1. Yeah, would suck to have to assist. Maybe aliens did it though.

    I went there many years years ago.

  9. We will never know, Hank. This sort of new to us thing helps occupy our minds.
    The picture suggests a petrified satellite dish.
