Behind the iron gate she stands
Chateau de Sable, on the shore
memory infused walls of clay
whispering dreamy tales of yore.
Though the gales whip and bluster
Behind the iron gate she stands
Harboring the earthbound specters
who haunt her corridors of sand.
Those who venture for a gander
novice paranormal seekers
behind the iron gate she stands
to delight these wide-eyed peepers.
Spectacled eternal prison
enlightened pilgrims understand
Chateau de Sable holds no light
behind the iron gate she stands.

“enlightened pilgrims understand . .. she holds no light.” my favourite line. This poem is wonderful but it is also dark and I think their is a warning in the end of it. Great take on your prompt.

Oh my how how horrible. No wonder it would be a frightening place to visit.
