Human: Write a detailed description of a dreary scene outside a coastal area lakeshore with stalks of maidencane and glasswort. Assistant: 
The indistinct shoreline presents itself here as a wide swath of glutinous mud. Leafy stalks of maidencane rise from the watery slime, flourishing in the semiaquatic conditions, while a few clusters of glasswort have taken up residence on some of the dryer patches of swampland.
