I made a sand castle.
In rolled the sea.
            “All sand castles
            belong to me—
            to me,”
said the sea.

I dug sand tunnels.
In flowed the sea.
            “All sand tunnels
            belong to me—
            to me,”
said the sea.

I saw my sand pail floating free.
I ran and snatched it from the sea.
            “My sand pail
            belongs to me—
            to ME!”

My thoughts on the piece :

One thing I really liked about this poem was the repetition and simple language used. It made me think of my own time spent on the beach and brought up good memories. I like their unusual format of some of the lines too because it made it more interesting to read.
