I’m submitting this as my final OctPoWriMo poem, and also as my offering for today’s Daily Post prompt:
Castle of Mystery
Mysterious walls and towers,
You isolate your inhabitants with your moat
Shielding them from the evil without.
Turrets teem with archers
Ever ready to shower demon attackers with flaming arrows.
Residing within your ramparts are brave warriors,
Inspired poets, devoted clerics,
Obeying the mandate of your monarch to
Uphold the kingdom, glorify God, and
Shelter the remnant of the people forever.
