Describing a beach
A bright blue day, the sky dotted with patches of white. The sea reflected the sky, with varying colours to deep blue in the deeper seas, and a light green nearer to the shore. The waves in the deep were high and foamy, but when it reached the shore, they lapped almost lazily, with not a single splash. The corals in the sea gave the sea a dark portion here, and another one there, as if on a moldy piece of bread. A little bit of the beach jutted out, yellow, with it turning whiter and whiter each timethe water passed over it.

Nothing Gold Can Stay, by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
This is a short but it contains images about the cycle of life. The title shows that many things are born beautirful but they don't always stay this was. they will change.
It starts by saying that "Nature's first green is gold". It is probably the start of spring, where naturs blooms, with beauty of green, leaves and plants. "Her hardest hue to hold" It cannot last as wnter will once again come and take away tthe beauty of nature, but it will come once again, a cycle of life for the plants. It also mentions "Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour". Again the speaker repeats the limited time nature has to display its beauty and perfection. It continues to describe that leaf subsides to leaf, as a cycle of life, when one leaf falls, another will soon replace it, a cycle of life.the fall of eden, which is to reference to the bible where the perfect garden that Adam and Eve live in never lasted, unable to remain its gold. "So dawn goes down to day," it shows that something as beautiful as dawn has to go, and let day enter, but it will return, to show its beauty again the next day, a cycle. It emphasises on the fact about the cycle of life that occurs naturally. The last line, "Nothing gold can stay." a repetition of the title, seems negative and seems as if there is no hope, that perfection will never last. It emphasises the title that nothing perfect will remain.
