Mike Singelton's Prompt Memorial Garden Gate and Pillar
Arrived at a gate, didn't know.
Was there a former château?
An ornate gate with two pillars.
Did it belong to the Millers?
Amazed, there wasn't a hassle.
It wasn't a château but a castle.
The castle wasn't the Millers but Percy.
A long family history, oh mercy.
The gate was built by a blacksmith's hand.
Birds fly above, the vegetation covers the land.
The castle was once used as a movie set.
Obviously, there wasn't a need to fret.
The garden was free from bicycles and dogs.
If there was a pond, it could have frogs.
The path looks easy to follow.
There was a log that might be hollow.
Traveling the UK vicariously,
we chatted gregariously.
In aw of the magnificent gate,
a work of art that's a sturdy weight.
Writer's notes: Mike's picture of the gate is amazing. Wasn't able to find one like it. Appreciate the read and many thanks to you!
Mahalo & Aloha!
