This sounds like a person lounging in a green area on a warm breezy day. It sounds so relaxing and beautiful. We all need to take times like this to enjoy nature. I would like to see the painting that inspired the poem

Hello Linda - this is exquisite. I've not read anything in a while that drew me in the way this work of yours has. You have my last 6 and I am so happy I had one left to give you. A lovely piece of work with a gorgeous layout. Warm regards Dorothy x

Comment from Sandra Montanino
Very lovely thought. I like the way it flows, it's almost visible. Painting inspire so many things. The line, "she dances with the ferns," is very beautiful. Good luck in the contest!

Very beautifully written, the plants and nature would tell us many things if they could speak back to us. Very nice picture as well fits perfectly with what you wrote.

Thank you, Gert! Take it a step further and imagine yourself living in a log cabin in the woods surrounded by nothing but mother nature and dancing naked among the ferns . . . what a freeing feeling! Linda
