memories …
sand castles besieged
by the waves
Elisa Allo
another Year Six
not yet Year Sevens
sandcastles
dreams …
knock at the sand door
barefoot

Italy
an old salt now…
will you answer the call
to find the princess
Alan Summers
walking barefoot
around the castles
in the kingdom
secret haven…
his power falls
brick by brick
her fairy tale
in a long daylight hour
first beach castle
end of season
ebb and flow carry away
childish tears
fairy tale
I tell them I can
make my own castle
sandcastle
bypassing not to be myself
the wave
