Castle Storm
https://poems.culturing.net/2026/11/11/castle-storm/
Storms shake the crumbling walls
of a castle made for solitude.
The moat has dried. The drawbridge breaks.
The servants flee in panic as the dragon
wakes from secret slumber. This could be the end,
and yet in the distance, a hero on a white steed
rises, declares his strength,
and rides towards final confrontation.
