Notes About The Poem

Dolce farniente ...

- Everything Is Better Barefoot -

Blue 
vision
Dipping toes
feel the softness
The warm breeze of the summer joys tempts me
Crystallized sand like feathers on the toes
Gold in my eyes
Breathe taking
and pure
bliss

Too true Anne-Lise Sad how this could be turned in its head and used and referenced in the same sentence as Barefoot and Pregnant

"Barefoot and Pregnant" (???) ... I'm not pregnant :)
