Toblino Castle – Rispetto Poem – Challenge

Rispetto poetry challenge

Toblino Castle Italy

I

Beauty reflected in a lake …
Toblino Castle born in days of yore.
Like a dream yet I’m awake
Oh,  poet’s dream of chivalrous lore …
I walk in days of jets and drones …
Satellites and fancy plastic phones,
Yet, here you stand upon the water
Like an old king’s fancy daughter.

Death become’s me. Rispetto poem.

Poetry challenge. Rispetto poem.

My eyes have grown dim i cannot see

my liver still functioned, my kidneys are fine

they are still healthy, but don’t work for me

the body has gone down with the rigours of time
