Dolce Far Niente Poems - Poems about Dolce Far Niente

Sun glistens through the curtains plays with the cracks on the walls a few floating clouds catch my eye. I stretch out , almost gracefully like a cat. As my feet touch cold wooden floorboards I grab a cosy blanket to wrap myself in, while tiptoeing to the kitchen to make some tea. Oh the sweetness of doing nothing I...

The sweetness of doing nothing in a day On umber earth and mid birds singing in spring. Spending leisure time in a suspended Bed hung up by each end between two trees. We sit gazing at the heavens in the clear night sky, A theater of dancing stars flitting with the moon. Hymn lull of tickling leaves as the breeze blows Through;...

I come into a time and place At peace within a vast estate Beneath me warms the verdant earth Above the sun of cosmic birth Drifts calmly down with feathered hands To hold me spellbound on the land And all around the summer breeze Gambols lightly in the trees – It whispers vaguely, far away A quiet murmur, as a prayer Crooning softly in...

'dolce far niente', is an Italian idiom means 'sweetness of doing nothing It's humdrum of work twenty four seven thrumming a suffocated heart to burnout too many tabs open in frantic switching moments of leisure in despair and doubt. Can't I pause a while to look around nature? a peacock dancing to tunes of a cuckoo, when worries vanish in a world...

Let your mind reset Let go of all the small things Release the big things Unwind and enjoy Take time to smell the sweetness That life offers us One day to the next Release your inner demons On paper with pen Then throw it away Creating a clean new slate Setting a new tone Living your best day May not be in Italy Ohio's a start 9-7-23...

"Buonjiorno carina, hello sweetheart" he says with a smile and a stroke of goatee Her acqua di Gio is fantasy art, un dolce far niente that lingered in scent; "La Spiaggia, the beach?" he points on to it with a grin and two roving eyes. Her manners are suave...

Slowly, Mickey Mouse wafted by as I gazed at the cerulean sky. The warmth of a cool Chardonnay I’d sipped at the end of the day; had me drift in and out of a sleep. As Mickey transformed to a sheep all my thoughts coast into a haze. While the hammock so gently sways my conscious is thoroughly freed, from the book I intended...

Turning sideways, once more I lay crouched in bed, Not compelled to wake up and run round the clock. The family, gone on a four-day adventurous trip. Left to myself, may I devour this calm with none to block. Listening to the hiss of falling rain, here I lie. The breeze that steals in through the window ajar, Tousles my hair...

Allow thoughts to drift on empty plain Watch them settle like gentle rain Forget to rush, live in slow motion Hear your soul, invest in the notion Resist the urge of mind overload Turn off highway, take scenic road Lie quite still, give yourself the time Regenerate and hear inner self chime There's sweetness to being alone Find solace, on past hurts atone...

Oh, the sweetness of doing nothing- Enjoying the emptiness of time; The letting go of doing something- exulting our life- serene, sublime. Just living in those moments turning Perhaps to hours of perfect bliss. As hearts and minds fulfill the yearning For peacefulness we surely miss. To close our eyes, start reminiscing The special blessings that fill each day; As busy lives may start...

Touched by early sunlight I sit barefoot by the window and allow thoughts to drift. I ask the day to wake me gently although knowing my life lies ahead. But not yet, I ask— let this moment linger. I allow errant thoughts to drift as they whisper— I haven’t even dressed and showered yet. Soft light eases my transition to the day and my ears ring while last night’s dream lingers....

The sweetness of doing nothing is hard, to take chitchat in your head and discard; embracing doing nothing is divine, oh, I love silence where nothing is heard ! Not an idleness but letting thoughts twine, to lay in a cozy place and recline; this is a good skill that can be bring peace, oh, lay in quietness sweetly supine ! Perhaps...

Dolce far niente – it’s sweet to do simply nothing. So say those who find idleness a treat. We should try this Italian way! For a change – eat lunch all alone. Dolce far niente – it’s sweet. Turn off the TV and cell phone. Meal time does not have to be fleet. Take your lover’s hand; walk the street. Leave behind dishes in...
