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 February 26, 2019 at 3:52 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. Caren Krutsinger February 26, 2019 at 9:19 PM I think both places feel the same; I will never forget visiting Alcatraz Prison, where I felt the same kind of shivers a castle gives me.

M. L. Kiser February 26, 2019 at 8:43 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. Caren Krutsinger February 26, 2019 at 1:08 PM There are "what ifs" there for sure. But can you sit on a plane that long? Pretending not to care about your 145 seatmates?

P.S. Awtry February 26, 2019 at 7:06 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 :) Caren Krutsinger February 26, 2019 at 7:23 AM They both seem equally stark, bleak, and cold to me.
