Year 5 writing-WOW

30th April 2021

As I walked along the crooked pier, waves were crashing up against the hard rocks, the sea was angry and hissing its fury like a thousand snakes. I could smell the salt and feel the cold spray upon my shivering body like an icy claw.

Above the roar of the furious waves, the scream of the seagull deafened my ears and left a ringing tone that shook my body. The terrifying darkness of the clouds loomed across the dark, dull sky, thick with thunder clouds that spelled a raging storm. My fingers throbbed with the cold, I could no longer feel my toes and I was numb all over my body. My eyes scanned the horizon for the boat that I was hoping would save me and take me to safer shores. It was nowhere to be seen. 

As I trembled at the scene before me, the sea rose up like a firework, creating a wall that seemed as if it could never be crossed. The boat was not coming. I turned and fled, back to safety, out of the reach of the clutches of the sea.

The burning sun shined like diamonds on the open water, the sand was hot like a cooking pan but still the leaves were cool like a winter’s day. The front of the water was turquoise green and merged into skylight blue. In the distance, you could make out a little island packed with trees, tropical animals and damp dirt. The sunbeds rest in the tree's shadow like a bug hiding in a hole.

The calm vivid sky hovered over the roaming wildlife as the meaningful trees bent above the dull ground. A fireball slowly falling from above the fluff balls. Darkness starts to take over the place. Peace takes its turn in playing its game.

The waves clashed and tumbled against the bridge as the gulls cried overhead. The salty brown rocks lay as the world went on around them. It was almost like they were sleeping. The clouds looked as they were about to spurt out water to places all around the world, gushing and splatting to the ground as new raindrops fall glistening.

The sun beat down on the trees in scintillating rays. The only shade to be found was from the shadows of the enormous palm trees; visors against the scorching sun. The pristine, white sand was as soft as silk. The blue, turquoise sea sloshed gently upon the sandy coastline. We were miles from home, but the beach, which all of us had only dreamed of, seemed to erase our worries.
