Watchtowers
Titans tilting, tangibly human windmills

Sapphic stanza
A Truce Hovers In the Air
An uneasy truce hovers in the air
combatants tense, no soldier dares
to catch a minute's sleep
the price of that, far too steep
Minutes pass, they feel like hours
searchlights flare o'er watchtowers
The truce so far's held half a night
soldiers curse to mask their fright......

Vallum Hadriani
Hadrian's wall
Stood proud it was the empire's pride
The Picts were a thorn renowned for their gall
So Rome built a divide
With watchtowers and forts it kept the Picts at bay
Rome couldn't defeat them, it was the only way
Long sections of it stand today
When the empire crumbled so did Hadrian's wall.
