Joining dVerse Poets and Victoria’s “erasure poem” prompt. I took mine from a non-fiction Maters of Art book, The Story of Architecture, by Francesco Milo.
feudal lords 
built castles to
protect against
barbarians assailing
timber stockade
consisting of mound
palisade and ditch
motte-and-bailey castle
mighty stone towers or
keeps designed in
combination of gate-
house and outer wall
fortified residences
feudal nobility dwell
in relative safety
houses huddle
around in village
walled formidably
then advent of
artillery and cannon
…Carcassonne!
