Up the wooded valley hill
a sudden chill grabs your feel
chill in a ruined shape,
it stands waiting, black and still
your self-control it tries to kill
up, up the castle gate.

Uneasiness from you isolate
no one will join you this late
... this time of night,
the fright rises, it's only eight
empty windows hush and hate
... not a speck of light.

It is Berry's imminent sight
close your eyes or fear will ignite
... the senses freeze,
do not seek a place to hide
for all the shadows hold you tight
... visions not at ease.

Dungeon holes begin to seize
will their quiet ever cease
up, up the ruined hill,
did you enjoy the morbid peace
Berry likes your sane to tease
up into the castle chill.
This is a first attempt of writing a poem using the poetic form 'virelai ancien'.

Berry Pomeroy castle is one of the most haunted places I have got the luck to go to. More about Berry Pomeroy and its ghosts here [link] and here [link]
