Best Sandcastles Poems

When I was a young boy,
I built a castle on the beach.
I made it from sand with my shovel-toy,
Then the waves grabbed it in their reach.
They tore my castle down,
And dragged it down into the sea.
So i took my shovel and, with a frown,
Built another...

Sandcastles built upon a pristine beach are a marvel to behold,
  
   With much pride taken by the architect to design and mold!

But, alas, this fragile work of art is destined to be savagely razed

   By the inexorable creep of...

Disenchanted sandcastles

Alone on a silent shoreline,
sea breeze emotions paint my skin
Sands of time slip away as I count the stars
wondering why so many seem to smile,
when I don’t

Storm fence pickets stand straight,
weathered of years watching
Holding at bay the impending dunes
where my footprints once shared these...

   Sandcastles built with the hope
   That fairytales will come true
   Lives lived in dreamland demand
   That the moon and tides
   Leave the dream untouched

Scared to fall asleep
As tides rip open shelters
Of childhood castles...

Scared to lower bridge
As hopeful heart cries exposed
Under jogger's shoe...

Ephemeral  life
Whales eco-locate my soul
Tacit castles in the dusk...

We erected sandcastles on the seashore.
I designed them and you painstakingly formed them
into edifices, complete with turrets, flags, and moats.
We even won the contest for the most authentic.
Now the only castles we build are in our imaginations.
You don’t even recognize your queen anymore, and I...

Castles of sand 
on the beach of love
never crumble.

Love thy name is 
Eternity.

We can’t defeat the clock,
despite our best intent.
No buffer to the shock,
no reason to lament.

Don’t be sad, don’t be scared,
you can’t abandon hope.
Think of all that we’ve shared,
you’ll find a way to cope.

This gift is only lent
and certain rules apply.
Enjoy what we’ve been sent,
don’t watch...

Summertime is here
Golden sands await the rush
Territories shared

Excitement abounds
Buckets and spades in frenzy
Silica shapes form

Children creating
Young voices resonating
Sandcastles they show...

"Daddy look at all the sandcastles"
"Aren't they all so grand?"
"Who could have known a king and his throne,
Could simply be made out of sand"

"Look at the beautiful towers"
"I wonder if a princess lives there"
"I'll bet she is kind, they're so hard to find,
With beautiful long...

Waves wash away residue
Taking dreams with it

When she dreams of following streams,
of childlike castles in the sand,
with ancient pebbles in her hand,
seen through brown eyes that gleam.
As the tides leave tales untold,
she sits among the scattered shells.
The sea gulls sound like ocean bells. 
With sand too soft for her to hold.
She...
