Sand Castles Poem by Franklin Spriggs

I stand beside the ocean blue,
The sun glimmering off the wave’s
I watch the people scurry about,
Where children happily play.

Sand castles here, sand castles their,
Up and down the shore,
The waves come in and cover them,
Then they are seen no more.

Palms trees blowing in the wind,
As if to say hello,
There palm limbs look like waveing hands,
Casting shadows on the sand below.

Umbrellas blowing down the beach.
Like Autumn leaves falling to the ground,
They tumble here, they tumble their,
As people chase them down.

The sun so hot, the sand not cool,
Suntan lotion in every hand,
Enjoy yourself at a beach today,
Building castles in the sand.

Auther,
Franklin C Spriggs
