stone arch

When we find the arch of stones standing alone
In the ruins of a once grand castle of a once grand duke
We can feel the hours spent preening to make an entrance
Through the elegant opening that framed the costume
The servants scurried to please His Lordship and his guests
With musical serenades, crumpets, and a silver tea service
No expense nor effort was spared to create the illusion
Of grandeur and pomp, great excess and special privilege
Nothing remains of the era they thought would never end
This pile of stones can’t tell us now if history is foe or friend

Please join a talented group of writers who are inspired each week by Sue Vincent’s photo prompts.    Visit Sue’s Daily Echo to read, write, or comment on the posts. It is fun to read all the variation on the same photo inspiration.

#NaPoWriMo2017

April is National Poetry Writing Month.  Please bust a rhyme yourself, or enjoy reading some poetry at the #NaPoWriMo site here.  There are poets contributing for all over the globe, so this year this had been acknowledged by using the #GloPoWriMo hashtag.  Both can be followed on twitter or Facebook for more poetic material.
