16 Another Poem

The End of Imagination
The castle lies empty and forlorn,
atop the lone hill,
a glass coffin gleams,
still full,

once splendid,
the ballroom is now deserted,
swathed in cobwebs and gloom,
the yellow road is crumbling,
and weeds push through the stones,

a red hood lies torn on the forest floor,
a bright slash against the snow,
a glass slipper is broken,
shattered where it has fallen,

all is still in the world begotten by magic,
now long forgotten by laughter,
this is the world killed with fantasy,
when imagination has gone.
