First Place

Her hair flowing In the breeze Orb brightly lights up the horizon In streaks of crushing orange Captured is her silhouette Rushing deep into the purple ocean Sun set brightest yellow Flames beaming Throughout a silhouette She waits for the darkness Far away from restless thoughts Opening up her heart Sounds of stillness Peaceful listlessness Pierce her silhouette She looks below at the cool sand Rich in gold dust Far away from the Village A set of footprints stand alone She breathes in deep Holds it in Then sighs Intaking simple moments of Dolche far niente

A wonderful poem, you really created imagery in this one, right from the start of your poem... deep introspection here..

I'm very pleased with this one, dolce far niente, the meaning is simply doing nothing. It needed I think imagery to get to the simplicity of doing nothing. I feel accompli with it! Thank you, SO
