Nothing Feels Like Sleeping Outside

Sleeping outside gives you a fresh appreciation of the night air Which in no kind of way resembles the plain air of daytime The night’s sweet coolness brings feelings unnamed but well felt Nocturnal magic emotions arrive that are void and null at sunset Camping whether in a tent or sleeping bag brings a fresh perspective Remembered and relived with excitement tens of years later Sleeping outside brings the dream world up close and personal Never deprive yourself of this experience; try it tonight if you care.

I did enjoy it with my cousins or friends in my childhood. But years later, in a tent with my bad back and my husband... not so much. hahaha. GREAT poem, Caren.

I woke up in a tent once with one lone grandson. All of the other five had sneaked into the house the night before, leaving all of their blankets, pillows, and soft stuff behind. I could not believe how much I still loved sleeping outside, even though the ground was HARD.

I completely agree. Give me a Spring, Fall night to hunker down in and its like I'm sleeping inside a poem. I enjoyed this. (sometimes summer, but no, no to winter.) Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I love sleeping outside, I can do this day, night, and without a tent as long as it is before the raccoons and bats come out.
