Okay, I'm Florida right now, so...

Sunbathing

Breathe in with a sigh,
And bask in the glow
Of knowing nothing can disturb you.

Let out a deep breath,
Feeling warm rays
Shine down upon you.

Sigh with contentment,
As you're in a safe haven
With only the sun and you.

Fall asleep,
But don't forget to wear
Your sunscreen
As being burnt to a crisp
Is NOT an option

Really? I think I was running on you last summer...

Sorry, to the poem! :)

First line is wonderful. Breathing IN with a sigh is so special and you worded it like I'd never thought of. Once again with line 4. Don't use "sigh" a second time. The last stanza made me smile but I don't get it... it's so different from the rest of the poem's tone. Kind of humorous like a punch line. Could be better though.

Good job! Enjoy Florida! :)

Thanks! I actually did mean it to be humorous, but I probably should have had a better transition.

I feel as though some of the lines are a bit disconnected. Especially this part as my brain takes a pause at the end of every line.

But that could be just me.
Although I would suggest changing the poem structure a little bit to get a better flow.

But aside from that, this is a rather nice poem. :)



"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
