Floating on lacy lilting cloud
tropical flora perfumed breeze,
lifts my soul to higher place
setting troubled mind at ease.
Terracotta, so cool to touch
beneath edge of jungle shade.
My favorite place in paradise
to watch, sail boats parade.
Each blissful day I dream away
anticipation of nights desire.
When hedonistic passion blooms
island romance spreads like fire.
Sunrise burst's across the sea
silver waves on turquoise blue.
So I return to my lilting cloud
to be refreshed and born anew.

It's beautiful and I think it goes well with the prompt. Wish I could get my hands on that hammock. We have a couple but not that pretty ... and the birds do a number on it so I have to be able to clean it off easily. Any way, nice job. There are a couple misspellings I think ... parrade should be parade and
antiscipation should be anticipation.

Very restful and beautiful. Excellent as usual. All the best in this contest.
