Laying In Wait

. Like oils on canvas envision this blades of grass weave through her hair along with wild flowers little flies and little ants The sun so bright at top of day she is laying in wait as Jehovah God Almighty Created for my fingers like rain on her skin to dance

Thank you dear poet...actually on a summer vacation myself. Apologies for too much density...maybe from the sea water that has seeped to this reader's brain...:)). Should start thinking along the same lines as these immensely talented poets on here. Where I am though, the ants and flies are in the air...don't worry I left maybe 2 sevens, I think...:)

OK OK, I give 1) Did ya ever see the sun shinning so bright that you can see a stream of dust particles glistening 2) If you are out on the grass naked or not and the sun is shinning, you will see these little flies flying around( her hair, and bod) and even maybe a few little ants roaming around....it's nature fer true dear poet. 3) If you would have seen this beauty laying naked on the grass last summer, you would understand mine write 4) It could have been big green flies and mean looking red ants around this "La Femme"...it still would have been such the beautiful vision ! 5) *smiles*

Stumped...for the life of me I can't visualize the one that inspired this poem...the images in my mind just looks too improbable...:) I give up! Now, you have to tell...:)
