An Insouciant Poem
Informal, care free,
That's what it means to be,
Light-hearted, without weight,
A light breeze pushing open a gate
Unimportant, without thought
An action without anything being sought,
Flippant gestures, vague amusement,
Often are insouciant
When someone refers to an insouciant action or thing they are saying that it gives off a sort of light hearted unconcerned attitude.
