The Castle

Written and Illustrated by Corey McCarty

This grand castle was built to
her majesty’s exacting orders.
It includes a spacious master suite
and many servants quarters.

A portcullis and a drawbridge 
and a mote filled with murky water.
Seven towers built; one for each
of the queens lovely daughters.

A great hall was built
and a keep and carriage house too.
The walls are topped with battlements
And are tall, thick and true.

It was built by the greatest architect
her majesty could possibly summon.
And would have stood for centuries …
if the tide just hadn’t come in.
