- Cuatro Sandcastle -


      For personal gain
      He builds a sandcastle on lies
      The road to chaos
      Sun-heated sand cause burning pain

What a delightful winning work. Descriptive, creative and on target. So many live their lives on lies and at some point, those lies will always catch up with a person. Way to go. Congratulations to you!! Sara K

Congratulations, Anne-Lise. Just talking with a friend this week about the popularity of lying - almost like it's the in-thing to do anymore. I like your theme.
