Vacation destination. Write a piece, poem preferred, but anything is fine, about the ideal vacation destination. There are rules. No naming the destination, no use of the following words: paradise, vacation, holiday, sunny, wet, tropical, fun, beach, hot or cold, sun, snow, swim, tan. Get the idea? Try slightly obscure, nothing too obvious. Show me where you want to go and paint me a picture with your words of what you want to do when you get there. I will try one too. Tag me.

Horizonist in Poetry & Free Verse

Equanimous Lull

Floating amidst nothingness,

Soaring through emptiness,

Alone, and quiet, and relaxed and slightly drowsy.

Free from others, free from work,

A paradise where no responsibilities may lurk,

A fugitive, an escapee, a runaway from all that's lousy.

An absence of rules and obligations,

Devoid of any harmful sensations,

Peace and warmth, cosiness and fire.

Nothing I could cherish more than this time,

Atop this serene mountain that none can climb,

Sacred island, safe haven from which I retire.
