what i imagine I can imagine the beauty and grace that the walk gives the speaker. Nature in itself is beautiful to me, and being on a beach can be a breathtaking experience.
what i think about the reading i think the reading is wonderful. there is free verse, which helps define the irregularity and natural atmosphere of nature, and there is great description of what the speaker is sensing.
what i feel about the reading i feel tranquil, calm, relaxed, and peaceful when i read this poem. I wish i was the speaker in this situation! The detail is so precise and vivid that i can see the water, feel the sand, and smell the sea as i read along.
what i want to know more about i want to know more about the inlet, where it is at, and how often the speaker walks along the beach.
my reaction i reacted calmly to the piece because of its smooth atmosphere. there isnt anything more beautiful than appreciating nature in its own world.
relation to my life i have always wanted to live by or on a beach and to be able to take a walk down the beach everyday would be awesome.
**after class discussion**
about the author AR Ammons based his poetry off of the sensory abilities of humans and the image nature portrays to people. He was born in North carolina and defines his poetry on the unlimited physical boundaries that nature has to offer.
favorite section my favorite part of the poem is when he compares the ocean to a prarie field and the waves to flowing grass. they are two totally different settings, but each one relates to the other through nature and steady flow.
summary the speaker is walking along an inlet shore and is taking in all of nature's offerings and beauty. they learn, see, feel, or hear something new everytime they walk down the shore.
reccommendation i would reccommend this poem to everyone because it is calming and gives great meaning to nature.
