Sand Castles

SAND CASTLES

by poeticpenguin

We build

Slowly

From each grain of sand

We build

And just like life

Our world comes tumbling down

And they laugh

And they laugh

           
Sand castles. This is a technique used by thousands of children as they play in the beach where sand of the area is used to create castles. This technique has become very popular that it has been catalogued as a new form of art, where many people of different ages make various forms, such as faces, statues, and sand castles, the latter being the most popular.  Too bad they do not last.
