Notes About The Poem

            

I Roam and Haunt the Halls of the Castle

I weep as I haunt the ruins of this castle

once a handmaiden, then the king’s mistress.

lavished in silks, gold, and silver tassel,

envy, pierced well born ladies interest.


Sneered and hated on my upcoming reign,

good times didn’t last long. a drop in my cup

of sweet wine of tearful death was very plain,

placed away from their space in ageless sleep.


Swishing sounds from my gown sweeps these stone steps,

of these shadowy chilling stone fortress.

With hushed tears I haunt  the long corridors

yearning for the radiance of my dreams.

David Smith July 31, 2016 at 4:46 AM That's a yes from me. Sweet write, Almost a seven but not quite. Hard to rate as your work is of such high standard. You are mostly a 6 or a seven. Interesting that 7 can be highest rating only. Anyway well worth visit. I am well - hope you are too. Fondest regards always David
