Ants On Her Body ~ Comments

Rating: 5.0

In the sweltering heat of summer, she stretched out on the lawn,
unaware of the insects that congregated on her dainty form.

With precision, they scurried, a minuscule army on their march,

We allow people to crawl on us and then realise what they have done to us. Good Introspection poem. Metophor 'ANTS' are fabulous.

Basically, I thought the 'collar' part of the story was farfetched (also far-fetched) aka unlikely/implausable. But....so much for me cleaning the house; there is no time left. bri : )

(cont.) I had THOUGHT of a dog, stretched out on a lawn, WITH a dog collar, but....it didn't seem to fit what followed, much (if any) more than a human (as I earlier explained) . RIGHT! ! (CONT.)

(cont.) Yes, you 'said' 'lawn', but, even so, how often do 'we' see people lying, stretched out on a lawn with a COLLARed SHIRT, JACKET, SWEATER, OR BATHROBE on a warm day? 'We' see T-shirts, tank tops, undershirts, or NAKED (OR nearly-naked) bodies, RIGHT? (cont.)

(cont.) ..... and my mind formed (another use of form, a verb) an image (a 'visage' if you will) of a 'babe' [over 18] lying at least 1/2-naked on a beach, with NO COLLARs in sight. (cont.)

FINALLY, my 'finishline' has arrived; I hope I do NOT TRIP! ! 'that even on her body, ants could leave an enduring form.' What about IN her body? ! 'Form'? aka? ? ? Did 'they' leave, using permanent 'welts' an everlastsing likeness of 'ELVIS', maybe near her pelvis? ? ! ! !

STANZA 9: 'diminutive' aka 'very small', Yeah, 'tiny'. I used to think it was spelled 'diminuative' [WORNG! ] 'tale that would soon be unfurled.' VERY NICE! ! 'Tale' aka story, not 'tail', which dogs AND, I BELIEVE, a few humans have have,

(cont.) STANZA 7, line 2: I 'suggest': ...'like never before, being indiscreet.' STANZA 8: I guess (I really do guess) that 'vestige' aka 'visible trace' refers to the ants. It is good you had 'vestige' available for 'face'. ;) bravo! !

Asim, esteemed (sometimes) poet, I 'SHOULDN'T', I suppose, but I DID agree with you on 'nose', SO 'here goes'. STANZA 7, line 2: I 'suggest': ...'lAsim, esteemed (sometimes) poet, I 'SHOULDN'T', I suppose, but I DID agree with you on 'nose', SO 'here goes'. (cont.)

(cont.) So, the poem's ants may have been IN, as well as ON, the poet's 'she'! ! ! 'Tee hee'? Couldn't/wouldn't ants be satisfied to hollow out rotting 'Mangoes' aka mangos? ? ? stanza 5: I like that you chose 'nostrils' over 'nose'. ;) bri

(cont. yet again!) : Now, assuming an ant could (or would want to) enter such an area in a woman's CROTCH region, they then might (at least try to) construct [[ NOT 'conduct']] 'tiny features. 'Lord preserve us! ! ' (cont.)

(cont.) [Therefore..] With the help of the internet, HERE is my interpretation, as SCARY as it MAY be to YOU! : 'Collar' refers to an abnormal(?) structure at/of the cervix aka the 'doorway' between a and a uterus. (cont.) us.

These two lines presented an intellectual challenge to me: 'Collar that once stood erect, now a park for these creatures, they built their hills and tunnels, conducting tiny features.' BUT I am smart and NOT without some medical experience. Therefore: (cont.)
