This is a Dixdeux. Two lines of 10 syllables each, followed by a 2 syllable line. If more than one stanza is written then the third line becomes a refrain in the following stanzas.
Warm sand runs through his fingers as he builds,
a sand castle filled with elusive dreams.
Waves splash.
Incoming tide erodes the foundation -
the castle falls and crumbles at his feet.
Waves splash.
Time and tide wash his castle out to sea.
Sighing, he takes a breath and starts over.
Waves splash.
