Brooke,
First of all like to wish you good luck in the contest because this is an exceptional entry. It is written very well and very enjoyable to read this wonderful tale.
The rhyming was exceptionally neither of the rhymes were forced nor labored while your rhythm flowed smoothly throughout the poem because of its tempo and meter.
The motto or message in this poem was easy to understand and delivered in a way that was most enjoyable to read.
Thank you for sharing and posting this exceptional poem with everyone to read and may the Lord be with you always especially a time of need.
Alex

A perfectly told tale of children's favourite past times. Sandcastles at the beach give rise to young imaginations and inventiveness, usually with the help of a parent or two. An enjoyable read. Pete

This is another delightful Sawyer story. So well done and rhythmic. The rhymes within the lines are great, too. This is excellent work.

Love your story poem about King Sawyer building sand castles by the sea. Great rhyming couplets and alliterations that make it flow as smoothly as the tide washing in from sea. 8-)

Nothing to dislike; all to like. Perfect rhyming couplets that tell a fictional story. The picture adds to the imagery and helps the piece to clearly convey a child's world of fantasy. Great job; you are a sure contest winner. God bless!

Outstanding story, and formatting (nice presentation too). I loved every line and word, but the line 'I thought the thought' threw me completely overboard with laughter. Ain't it true? Best of luck in the contest. Kenny

You get in the child's imagination well. King Sawyer indeed! But then he was the king, and kings can do little but snooze and let it all happen. Well done, Brooke.

I hope the tide didn't destroy King Sawyer's castle and make him sad, Brooke. :-)

I always like the fun use of 'stuff' rather than more formal similar words. I can never refer to my writes as 'a piece' or 'a work', as I'd feel poncy, so I use 'stuff' instead.

As you say, it's better to be a vain King with nothing important to do, then the sometimes mindless idiots who wait at his beck and call.

Some VERY funny REAL LOL lines in this excellent read.

Cheers, Ray.

That's a very interesting story but it doesn't sound like our hands on Sawyer. Normally he would be in the thick of things giving instructions. Remember the umbrella? But really Brooke this is a fabulous story in a poem. I hope you win! Good luck. Nancy

    Nancy, my precious Sawyer is not like this at all. I hope I don't get in trouble with his mother. LOL Thanks so much for your review :-) Brooke

    That's what I said. No he would be in the thick of it but I loved the imagery of him searching for his shoes and socks while the walls were in peril. LOL

    He does in real life really love his wardrobe of shoes LOL He offers opinions on which ones to wear each day :-)

I always love to read these delightful poems about Sawyer. They always bring a smile to my face. Every word as like a lyric in a children's song. One can hear the little Fischer-Price piano playing the tune as it's read-sung aloud.
