Sandcastles Poems - Poems about Sandcastles

Sandcastle Dreams
We built our kingdom of sand and dreams A fortress of shells and seaweed streams We dug our moat with buckets and spades And prayed the tide would not invade Our walls were high our towers tall But storms came and watched them fall The sea devoured our sandy home Leaving us stranded feeling alone Gone are the days of carefree play Building castles...

When I was a child, I had a tomcat that loved sleeping in my bed, and a dog that lived outside and barked at night when demons would come. I wore sneakers, shorts, and a green hat made from a burdock leaf. I broke my neighbors' windows with a slingshot just like the kids from the...

Kings and Queens choose those to die A game of thrones perched on high What new tactics will they try Sandcastles up in the sky Monarchs laugh while peons cry We bow down when they walk by Then we sit and wonder why Sandcastles rule you and I Trumpets sound and eagles soar Signaling the tides of war Nations fall when lions roar Sandcastles forever more Shadows...

Sandcastles
Sandcastles Time through the hourglass falls at a rate of grains, These subtle morsels of molecular stones that lay on the foundation of earthly stains. Minute signatures of the past pressurized to crumble and seize. The zillions of small building blocks can be molded entirely just for all to see. Smoothed, blown, cut, dug, soaked, dried and spilt...

Disenchanted Sandcastles
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 moments with another Salt water teardrops fall, meeting the beach in sorrow’d pools, lonely...

Summer Days
I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care, Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere. Politics powers reign and lovers claim romance Parties began, and the united theme stood strong, Crowds weave merrily in victory celebration dance On...

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 the world go by. Standing firm, standing tall, against the ebb and...
