Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Notre Dame Gargoyle

I was a gargoyle made of stone

On the roof of Notre Dame church,

A symbol in the sacred zone

Of evil sitting on my perch,

Reminding those that saw me there

To seek divine goodness inside,

But of evil ever beware,

My kind be ready to misguide.

I also served the purpose of

Diverting rainwater away

From causing damage from above.

Served centuries until one day,

It was not water but was fire

That forced me to early retire.
