The flowers Parrish left weren’t metres apart anymore, there were now only inches apart. You quickly took your socks and shoes off as you love to feel the sand under your feet and tucked them under your arm, following the flowers until coming to a halt in front of a question that was carved out in the sand. You read the question in complete shock and happiness, dropping the…

Being only 5 and having the gritty feeling of sand stuck between my teeth I burst into tears and lay on the wet sand until an adult came to my aid. I was then walked to the hose to rinse my mouth and it was then that I remember feeling the sting in my hands and looking down to witness pieces of sand stuck beneath my skin. This did not help to stop the…

For the children, the vast beaches served as open fields for soccer and football. The coarse sand an open canvas for castle blueprints and secret messages. Sand dollars switched hands as if they were currency. The island just off the beach, Proposal Rock, supplied magical woodlands and week-long treasure hunts. A forest hid beneath the water— hundreds of ancient…

The poem ends with the speaker asking whether everything he sees and seems is just a dream within a dream. The poem is written in English…

During the winter in some places it can get very cold, and it might even snow. People put many different things on the ground to make the snow melt, but which one really melts the snow the fastest?

There are sand storms. Some of the sandstorms are really bad and they can block the sun for days.

Mars is super freezing it is -81 degrees fahrenheit and our body cannot…

The camera on its orbicular crown began snapping photos almost immediately. It was beautiful, a rich, orange coloured valley that seemed bottomless. Markings and natural carvings into the scarlet flesh of the planet showed that water had once…

pumping sand from another place onto an eroding shoreline or a shoreline in the process of erosion to create, or expand the length and width of the existing beach.

Since beach nourishment doesn’t completely stop erosion, the placement of new sand…
