I'm sure many workers, who worked over Christmas feel unappreciated, and they had to be away from their families and loved ones. Thank you for sharing this presentation with us.

Thank you very much, my friend. Yes, one of my first jobs was at a department store. I was left alone at the register on Christmas eve, it was a mad house and I almost cried.

What a fun, informative and cool Semryu. I love what ants stand for.... Unless they are in my house, and then they stand for nothing except, OUT!! But it is true that we can learn from the ant, their values as far as workmanship and how they all do their part to prepare for a rainy day. I must try one of these again. Hmmm, is this one that is in the club entries right now? I will look and see what is available.
I really liked this one a lot. Thanks so much! Debi

Lol. I guess every species must have their royalty and working class citizens. The poor working class ants are one of the most hardworking in the animal kingdom!

This was a great haiku, Gypsy. The picture definitely says it all. It shows that the ants are low classed and unappreciated. They are truly unappreciated. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Hi MariVal,
I guess it just another totalitarian rule?

Everyone in their station performing their duty to allow the ongoing production, status, safety of Queen and colony.

What a truly amazing image... looks as though they built a beautiful castle for their Queen.

Wonderfully composed Senryu... oh how it relates to what we are seeing across the globe with the haves and have nots.

With our thoughts we create...
the equality of our service.

Warmest regards,
James.

This is such a sad, but true reality. Many employees today work day and night, and risk their entire livelihoods on such incremental pay, just like ants. The world is truly greedy sometimes.
