POWER/ Poetry Potluck #35

 
                                                                  Bodiam Castle


I WAS CHARMED by the idea of this week's Poetry Potluck #35. Fortresses, Castles, Palaces and Royal Houses!  Bound to be intriguing...

POWER

You are a fortress.
The mighty build a deep moat,
but I am the Sun.
