Excellent Such fascinating creatures... The Ants of Colony Earth by Y. M. Roger      Trinet Poetry Contest Winner

Swerving here    climbing there… Following along the course without alter,   trusting that others simply cannot falter…        across mud            over grass               around rocks.                              Sliding there         marching here…   Bearing the off’ring worth the strife,        knowing the harvest will mean life…            to larvae               for workers                    and soldiers.                    Scooting here             dashing there…     Their echelons living paths without rival         the goal always the colony’s survival…                 above all                       before self                              over death.

Trinet Poetry Contest Winner Author Notes I've always been fascinated by a colony of ants: from the large leaf cutters that can strip a small-to-medium tree overnight to those annoying itty-bitty sugar ants that get into the kitchen sometimes...truly remakable creatures, don't you think? Hope you enjoy! :)
