The Tower

It was covered by a blanket of moss with a wood fence that looked as sturdy as a young child’s craft project, stretching across a patio, the memory of jazz. It had a tower on the balcony, reaching towards the moon in the midnight sky. A witches’ tower made with alchemy in which a kidnapped girl, hostage, would cry. It has a fierce lean, rivaling that of the famous Piza ruin, so extreme it looks it will fall if you give a shove. The castle, the image, must be a dream. An old green forest, decaying behind the stone castle, which I’m sure you can find.

I can clearly visualize this crumbling old castle with a tower reaching up to the sky in the backdrop of a withering forest. I can also hear the kidnapped girl's painful moans ! A sonnet evoking the memories of an old folklore....! Thanks Layla for your visit to my page !
