Bookroo's summary
Dive into a poetic journey with 'S is for Sea Glass,' where each verse captures the essence of beach life. From the tickle of sand to the roar of waves, explore the sensory wonders of the shore. Discover the stories behind sea glass and shells, and let your imagination wander down the boardwalk. This collection of free verse, haiku, and odes invites beach lovers to relive the magic of the seaside. What secrets does the ocean hold, and why are we so irresistibly drawn to its shores?
From the publisher
The tickle of sand on the bottom of bare feet … the taste of salt from a spray of water … the rumble-roar as waves come ashore. These are just a few of the many sensory experiences a day at the beach can bring. S is for Sea Glass: A Beach Alphabet uses a variety of poetry forms such as free verse, haiku, and ode in this celebration of the beach and seaside life. From a walk down the boardwalk to collecting sea glass to imagining the life of a shell’s former occupant, poet Richard Michelson reminds beach lovers of all ages of the many reasons we’re drawn to the shore.
