One Random Arrow
A brilliant pile of stones
Fashioned into fortress home
Gate and wall and moat and hall
Archers ready, towers tall
The enemy at hand
King walks behind to help them stand
Volley lofted o’er the wall
King, of a sudden, falls
Guards, walls
Insufficient all
To stop the fall of
One random arrow
Inspired by a visit to Caerphilly Castle (Wales), built ca.1270. Photographs taken by the author.
