These sculptures
Often made by children
Or by families
Moats made to not let water in
Contests are held
Warm days are present
They don't last long
However whilst there
They are pleasant
Some water and some sand
Shaped and sculpted
Grain by grain
Only creativity is trusted
Smooth shape
Wiggle and tame
This moat it stays
This sand it displays
Push
Scrape
Add
And compact
Working hard
to make it
First place
My dear sandcastle
It's almost done
Time runs out
While I'm still having fun
Contest is held
Although not first place
Second however
Not too shabby
Not to be waste
I know the next day
When I come to the beach
My sandcastle display
Will be no longer in reach
A picture or memory
A medal of plenty
Maybe tomorrow
My next second place
will be ready
