FIRST PLACE POEM
Sand Castles
By Joan Bellinger

Burnaby, British Columbia

I'm the King of the Castle
a citadel of sand
made by my own hand
with battlements and turrets
strong and fortified
but wary of the tide
for the creeping fingers
of the rascal sea
wash it away from me
and I'm King of Used-To-Be!
