My Day at the Beach
If there was ever heaven on Earth, this has to be it. The softly cashing waves hitting the sandy shore, the bright, shining, last single golden ray of dazzling light slowly threatening to duck underneath the ever distant horizon of endless blue, and the warmth of the blinding white sand surrounding me. As I stand here silently, unable to move even if I wanted to, the quiet sound of a hopeful, anxious young man proposing to his only love with subdued eagerness floats my way carried by the humid, salty, ocean air. Over all this, the gentle roar of music comes from a nearby restaurant, sweeping me away with it. The calmness that seems to linger in the air takes away every last worry I’ve ever had and leaves me with complete content.

I really like your descriptions, it reminded me of when I was at the beach enjoying the sight of the beautiful sunset. A++++. (:
ReplyDeleteAs I read this, I can feel the beach all around me. The word choice was good. Now I miss the beach :(
ReplyDeleteYou had a great hook. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I liked how you described not only the sound of the waves or sand, but the sounds coming from nearby. I thought that was a different outlook than what others may have done. :)
I loved this! Your use of the five senses made this piece amazing, I could practically feel the sand between my toes.
ReplyDeleteGreat words. Dazzling, endless blue, subdued. This is great.
ReplyDeleteWhooooooooop.
ReplyDeleteHeaven on Earth. :)
great job. It takes me back perfectly.
ugh I'm going to go buy a plane ticket for the beach right now. Ok I thought the words you used took me right there next to you taking in the surroundings. Excelent job Sammy! :)
ReplyDeleteYou actually heard a proposal while you were there? How amazing!
