The Sphinx of Sand by Gracie Lodge-McIntire & Kristen Lodge
We saw a Sphinx in the sand
Today at York Beachin Maine
and I said to Gracie,
“Let’s write a poem about it”
Today at York Beachin Maine
and I said to Gracie,
“Let’s write a poem about it”
Why not?I answered
with ideas sprouting
The rocks banged against our feet
The sun burned our backs
and the tide came high
and covered the sand
The sun burned our backs
and the tide came high
and covered the sand
How can I compete
with those rocks that crash to our feet
or the Sphinx of sand
standing so grand?
with those rocks that crash to our feet
or the Sphinx of sand
standing so grand?
And now we are home
with sand still on our feet
thinking of the sand and the Sphinx
and will always remember the day at the beach
with sand still on our feet
thinking of the sand and the Sphinx
and will always remember the day at the beach
There is one detailthat can never fail
the Sphinx of sandstanding so grand.
