Once, we gazed through spray,
proudly, over our sandcastles.
Again, our eyes meet.
Do you still feel the same today?
Sandcastles remind
me of all my childhoods beach days
with buckets and spades
building the biggest and best kind.
Once built in years past;
childhood, beaches long forgotten
drowned by evening tides
like our summers, which never last.
Sun
shining
sky serene
summer's sultry
shine
swim
splashing
sandcastles
seeking seashells
surf

Sacred whispers of fortresses forgotten
heard no more in sandcastles begotten
Sand castles fragile
Sea breeze hitting continuous.
Hostile environ
always confronting my life style.
children and elders
take joy in building sandcastles,
let them not crumble
as true architects and welders.
2nd Place
Castles of sand
on the beach of love
never crumble.
Love thy name is
Eternity.

fun day at the beach

Sun yawns on grains chained
to sandcastles as cool sea waves
rise, taking away
what the caramel dream had reigned.

.
sunburned, sleeping child--
another summer memory
is swept out to sea
In his little boy’s dreams
Tall sandcastles guarded by dragons
He’s the bravest of knights

Strong heart grains as gild
shone hope on her dream draped palace.
In time cracks reshaped grains
into hapless dream gratis gravestones.
We built it one day,
Our castle in the golden sand.
Said we’d live in it
But the sea washed it all away.

Children have such fun
building sandcastles in the sand;
sad when downed by waves.
Grit for the future's unknown hand.
Look out at the wild blue sea
Waves crashing upon the shore
Seagulls swoop in the air
Fiddler crabs play upon the sand
Children build sandcastles near the waves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
salt fingers pry the walls apart
the moat surrenders, spire bends~
this is how creation ends:
a slow dissolve, a work of heart
The spade bites down, a silver fang—
its hunger for the perfect tower, the moat that swallows everything.
I build my kingdoms grain by grain,
while tide rehearses its collapse again.
conceited waves
wash over the
modest shores
destroying the
dreams of the
children that
build sandcastles
of dreams
in the sand
trying to create
a future for themselves
Sandcastles built with the hope
That fairytales will come true
Lives lived in dreamland demand
That the moon and tides
Leave the dream untouched

purposeless purpose
constructed in wash away sand,
ruled by wind and waves
my life an ebbing tide circus.
Childhood Nostalgia
Little kid at heart
Still wishes on dusk's first star
Rides on cloud ships
Recalls games of innocence
Sandcastles and tree houses.

Upon unfettered twinkled mornings
with chortle memories spawned
Lil Lonnie, was sprinkling sculptured sandcastles
with fairy dust !

Colorful umbrellas dot the shore
As beachgoers bask in sunshine
Sandcastles threatened by waves
People collect seashells
As the ocean roars
There's fun and sun
On sizzling

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
