Brian Davey Poet Acrostic

Castle On a Hill

Castle On A Hill




            Centuries ago built by hand with stones
            A formidable fortress now stands alone
            Sentries would guard the drawbridge and gate
            Townsmen sold goods in the castle's marketplace
            Legions of men camped outside to defend
            Echoes of the past on a hill my friends

            Old ways stand proud in a world anew
            Nottingham now has nothing to prove

            Arrows held steady for the Archers bow

            Hiking for miles uphill on this road
            Intricate labrynith no map has shown
            Life lived hard behind these stone walls
            Long live the King and Queen and all
