Sunbathing

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

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. :)

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

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! :)
