King Forever

king of the castle
master of all I survey
my territory

panoramic view
rough stonework castellation
fresh breeze, muffled sounds

see people below
most will not/cannot see me:
ancient castle’s ghost

Ahh, I like your spooky interpretation of the photo, Jack. Sometimes when we visit these historic sites, we imagine ourselves as having lived there. Great description of the castle as well. I think Michael will enjoy this as much as I did. Quite original! Best wishes in his contest. Love, Carolyn
