Sense Sonnet - Acher

Fairy Tale Castle

Ludwig second, fairy tale king,
Of old Bavaria did build
A fairy tale castle to bring
Real life to fantasy he willed.
The Neuschwanstein Castle began
In 1869 to rise
Upon an alpine high hill span,
Towers rising into the skies.
Years later Ludwig did move in,
Where the fairy tale king did reign.
Eviction plans did soon begin
When Ludwig was declared insane.

This was more than Ludwig could take,
Was found dead in a nearby lake.
