Knights Have Tried and Have Failed To Rescue a Princess Jailed

A bridge that lifts into the air A foggy moat warning beware Do not cross or you will be Part of this castles history That has claimed a lot of victims Trying every kind of system To rescue the trapped princess But there has been no success To get in this eerie castle Is becoming quite a hassle For the knights on sturdy horses Using all their mighty forces To break down the door that stands So precise and highly grand Attached to dungeons and towers Men have tried for many hours But this castle made of stone Holds a princess all alone That is blocked from morning light Locked away and out of sight Hidden in a cold dark room Filled with sadness--lots of gloom Until the day a miracle Will make this castles doors fall And open up a world of newness Without all the pain and blueness This castle has kept for years With the secrets and the tears That will disappear and float Away under the foggy moat And the bridge will soon collapse And happiness is found at last 1/20/2014

I loved this poem, Robin! The imagery is beautiful, just like right out of the pages of a storybook. The rhyming and the flow of the words was fantastic. Lovely work!...Thank you very much for the great comments on my "Love Will Triumph" poem.
