I enjoyed your use of imagery here, both your choice of the visual image and your wording. I like that these words raise some questions for the reader - why does the narrator feel as though they are adrift? Is there a deeper emotion lying beyond the sigh? Thanks for sharing.

This is such a lovely and haunting picture. I feel like I am on the wooden pier looking at the sundown and sighing myself. The setting if perfect for contimpliation and deep thoughts. Good work here.

Ciao mystery poet, you now have 8 votes.

This poem speaks to me.

When I watch a sunset my mind goes adrift.

I forget my woes and I get dreamy.

I literally lose myself , I get absorbed by the autumn hues, the peaceful vibe.

Been there done that! I enjoyed your 2/6/2 entry.

The title "adrift" set the lazy evening tone. Of course, here in Michigan we can drop the 'a' and just go with drift as in snow drift. Dang it's so cold.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a lovely little piece of poetry written with just 10 syllables in total. The imagery is wonderful and the chosen artwork complements your words very well. Good luck with this.

I love this. So simple and yet this is something I think we can all relate to. That bliss of falling asleep or of relaxing after a long day. Or it could also refer to the heat of a day and then the cool of the night. Well done.
