Castles and Prisons Seem Cold

Castles and prisons seem cold 
High ceilings 
Icy walls 
Rules galore 
Who would want to live there? 
Not me. 
Princess or prisoner. 
I want neither role. 
Castles and prisons seem cold.

Bette Bavington Date: 2/26/2019 3:52:00 PM Princess or prisoners is not something I care to be. I like doing my own thing. Yet I love seeing the old castles and can imagine how live used to be. Good one. Gives me more to think about. Lol.

M. L. Kiser Date: 2/26/2019 8:43:00 AM I've always wanted to see Europe and ancestral castles; they are such good fodder for stories. Cold indeed but, just crammed with, "what if's..." Well done.

P.S. Awtry Date: 2/26/2019 7:06:00 AM I really like the way you wrote this, with the repeating line. And I agree they do seem cold. Watching "The Crown" on Netflix--seems that castles can be prisons for the princess. Nice write :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/26/2019 7:23:00 AM They both seem equally stark, bleak, and cold to me.
