Compose vivid sentences on your favorite place to visit using sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste.
notka56 [123]
My favorite place to visit is the beach. Seeing the sunset and watching the waves crash on the shore, and hearing the birds sing and watching them play and glide gracefully just above the water is a sight I’ll never forget. The smell of the ocean and the fresh air is what I compare to the smell of my childhood. The warm sand under my hands and soft and smooth but hard sea glass against the palms of my hands relax me. The taste of the salty air in my mouth is so pure. The beach gives me a sensory overload but also relaxes me.
