And then there are castles. Most were built for defense
in the Middle Ages, the ruins may or may not be haunted.
Of course, some for just plain living in, and then
there are sand castles …
CASTLES
sand trickles
through my fingers
scentless and pale
as a snow-filled sky
the beach fills with days
clicked by the clock
and piled
like a castle
waiting for the tide

The Willow Tree Girl “… perfect for children in the 7-11-year-old bracket who love to read. …The characters are life-like and the plot intriguing …” Elizabeth Symon.
Lovely! Where was the picture taken?
This was Conway Castle in Wales. We were just fortunate enough to be there at low tide. It’s a beautiful place.
