Lost Hope
July 9, 2015
Clasping in my hand with much delight,
to the sight of my invite.
Dressed in variations of white,
with accents of blue light.
Arriving to the festival grand,
I was set to where the castle doors stand.
I joined in the celebration of peace demand,
of the ruler of this land.
Until the King's hand outstretched in awful fright,
I couldn't fathom the cause of the unseen sight.
Hope I carried here so bright,
taken by disappointment's bite.
Excusing myself against my will,
for I feared he was ill.

I enjoyed reading this poem! This is a great piece of work.
I wrote this based of an assignment in English, that we were to write journal entries of reactions to a mad king taking place of once good and great king.
I read over the journal entry and made this poem. Hope you enjoy, along with the amazing photo. That makes all my peices so much better.
