A Summers Day

As I walk across the sun-lit beach, I can feel the fine, almost minute grains of sand against the soles of my feet, delicately sliding between my toes with that slender touch, accompanied by a sizzling, warm sensation which one can only describe as being immensly pleasurable. I slowly turn my head and am stunned by the view before me. The once unsightly crystalline green waters of the sea were now a beautiful panorama of golds and yellows due to the delightful ball of flames which shines far above the cloudless sky, providing us with warmth and light.1


I take yet another look around this glorious place and am overwhelmed by the miniscule population of fellow humans. I now have the liberty to relax rather than be bombarded by a ridiculous crowd of people attempting in vain to catch a tan before their reluctant return home.2

Author notes

I wrote this in an English lesson, so it is quite rushed. But I am happy with it.

A contest entry

I've tried to make this descriptive. Have I?

    Nice.......

    Short and sweet. It is well-written. Your descriptions are very clear and realistic, I love your use of imagery. You've concocted a great, interesting read!=)=)

  • Even though it is rushed I still think it is well developed. You had the most extravagant word choice, and I like the way everything seemed to flow. I loved the line "unsightly crystalline green waters of the sea were now a beautiful panorama of golds and yellows due to the delightful ball of flames", that was truly an eye opener for sure. I felt as if I was there, espically when you were describing the sand.

    Very Nice.

    Good Luck!
