    Castle Of Poets

    The castle is a place where poets dwell.,
    Where each can cast their wondrous spell.
    From the turrets high to the dungeons deep
    From each portcullis to the central keep.

    Its powerful walls keep foes at bay.
    They keep us safe from day to day.
    The knights are brave and fight with zeal.
    In armored suits and swords of steel.

    The poets live as all men should.
    Side by side in brotherhood.
    The magic of rhyme is all they seek
    From modern tongue to ancient Greek.

    The castle echoes with the sound of joy,
    And haunting words from man and boy.
    The maidens fair who live within
    Pen words of love and carnal sin.

    For each one here there is a place
    To release the soul from its enclosed space.
    With words of mirth and sorrow both.
    And witches spells of evil oath.


    The castle grows from day to day
    And people come from far away.
    But once inside these walls of Grey,
    They know that they are here to stay.

    Their words are all that leave this place,
    Their souls the castle shall embrace.
    So in our quest for perfect poem
    We call this place our sonnets home.

    Very clever. Since some of you call me a poet, I would like to reserve the west turret and I promise to write about more than love and carnal sin. (Just teasing you Mike. I know you were going for the rhyme. At least I think so. )

    I like the idea of being protected and I do feel that here, in this lit-net castle.

    I like it Mike.

    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.
