Escape The Keep

An adventure poem

Crumbling beneath the waves
The castle keep cannot be saved
The heavy brick walls
were no match for the incoming storm.
Down the stairs, along the wall,
rush! Rush! Before it falls.
Down inside beyond the door
a portal to the world you never saw before.
We must get through before the fall.
Bright sunshine, green grass
await us beyond the hall.
If we can make it beyond the collapsing wall
Run! Run!
A few feet more, or we'll be done!
Almost there, seconds left!
Don't think, take a deep breath....
and jump
