Notes About The Poem

Haunted Castle

The dark haunted castle
spread fear amongst the villagers
no one dared approach at twilight.
little anyone knew
it was a proper den of thieves.

A very clever machination ! The thieves can easily hide their booty there and stay safe away from public interference. You have given a neat twist at the end !

Oh excellent Victor. Everyone feared the imaginary ghosts but never even new about the very real thieves. Good one. God Bless, JB

Maybe it was the thieves themselves who spread rumors of the castle being haunted. I enjoyed this a lot, Victor. :)

Smart to have word spread that this den was haunted. They probably began the rumor! I hope you are feeling well now Victor? Blessings xxoo

So a den of thieves were very wise to chose this abode. They were safely tucked away where no one not even the police would tread. Your visit to my page was awesome. Sara

It’s to be hoped the thieves get the fright of their life, when the ghosts come out at night. Enjoyed the read… Belle
