Short Sandcastle Poems

My sandcastle cries
As the tide washes over
It with a strong force....

So fragile and tall,
as the big dreams that built it,
washed away by rain....

Ocean drowns tan sandcastle 
Beached black whale dying...

child plays in the sand
makes sandcastle memories
stick to each ripe rib.......

Standing tall and proud
Mighty waves washing its feet
For life is really short...

Sandcastle crumbles
Waves wash away residue
Taking dreams with it

sandcastle build, fantasy…

swept away by wind...

sandcastles built by

     small hands with pails and shovels

    ...... the tide is the foe...

tide out castle built
tide in labour washed away---
just like life really.

Drifting with the tide.
Sandcastles move easily...
No stability!

Sandcastle _ moat filled
                 Safety security sound
                                Quick summer shower...

grain structures of sands...
   rain vehement and strong winds
                                   disintegration

He
built a
sandcastle
too far up the
beach-
the
empty 
moat missing
the incoming
tide-
vain
efforts
dissolve in
the first offshore
breeze....

Devoid of ocean....
  
                  with ever changing magic

                                      my sandcastle clouds

My sandcastle floating away

a hot burning sun
endless waves washing ashore...
gulls stealing french fries

a refreshing breeze
scores of sandcastle ruins...
a day at the beach...

Building castles on a sandy beach
I left to gather up more sand
But, in one castle, a shock
Ran through my wind-blown locks
Castle, occupied 
Sand crab resides
Pinched finger
Band-aid
Time....

THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE



The empire of the empyrean
Is swallowing up the remains of our day
While we rebuild our empty sandcastle walls

And outrun the swiftest  skylark
In a plunge to the gates already closing out
The dawdling dwindling light....

Here,
There's no one else but me
to build a sandcastle.

I'm bewildered
by the vastness of imaginary sands
and oceans in a country only existing
within the boundaries of my mind

I lay my hands bare at this island.

A MINATURE WORLD

rockpools left by tide
microcosm of sea life
salt creatures waiting.


INCOMING TIDE

sandcastle at risk
horror on children's faces
nothing to be done.


SHADOWS

dark shadow rippled
over torpid winter sea
no summer echoes...

You have never come into my dreams. 
And I have no place to touch down. 
I don`t drink spirits, not in the least.
I go mad and speak in a round.

I am a sad bird which has no wings.
Did you lose our love in a hustle?
You will never come into my dreams.
You are like a wind or a sandcastle....

No need to hurry;
No need to hustle;
The waves do carry
Our each sandcastle.

Life contains a measured beat;
We need to accept all;
Freedom has a deep seat,
As we're given the call.

All things seem pointless;
What is the truth then?
Of all things regardless,
We falsely become insane....
