I remember the time when I was a kid,
When we played Knights and Queens hand in hand.
We dreamt of a kingdom, we decided to build
A marvelous castle of sand.
We all gathered together and ran to the sea
Where the waves kissed the sands of the shore,
Where an eel left a trace, a message to me
That I’d never fancied before.
I remember I took my shovel with me,
My bucket, my armors, my sword.
I remember how the side of the sea
Was invaded by our horde.
We started to work so zealously hard
To complete by the Sun’s decline
But the Sun in the sky admired our art
And some longer He promised to shine.
And finally we built the castle of sand,
At last our dreams came true.
Around the castle we danced hand in hand,
All the kids, both me and you.
It was six in the evening, our parents frowned,
So afraid were they and appalled
By the thought their kids in the sea might ‘ve drowned,
So the Soviet militia* they called.
The officers didn’t expect they’d be charmed
By the castle’s magnificent beauty,
Though their determination disarmed,
To take us home was their duty.
«And finally we built the castle of sand» yes, it is beautiful … poetic history, it will be pleasant to reader to recollect … 10 …/Thanks …
A wonderful poem! Wonderfu is the imagery, very nicely composed with due care. I love it and added 10 to it.
A lovely narrative poem, well articulated and nicely penned. The piece took me down memory lane, as I recalled how we built huts, bridges... using whatever kind of soil was available for us as we lived very far from the coast. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
