The Beach Marsh Poem

172 Words1 Page

The horizon’s edge, the flying sea-crow, the fragrance of salt marsh and shore mud,

The feeling of the shore marsh slushing between your toes

The feeling of sinking into the shore marsh

Feeling as free of the sea-crow

Flying without boundaries

The smell of happiness and simplicity

The smell of salt that can’t be washed away

Stays for hours and days on end

The smell that stays for the summer

The smell of relaxation and peace

I feel the weight being lifted off my shoulders

The warm air pressing against your skin

The brisk water washing away all your worries

And soothing your soul

Spending time in the sun

A break from reality

A time away from pressure and stress

And finally all of your senses are consumed

They are lost

  • Analysis Of Why The Beach Is A Bummer By Roxane Gay

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
