I like to pretend
to be an ant
Plunder for food,
don't tell me I can't!
I watch them where
they go
I don't know why
they say "Goodbye",
I say "Hello!"
Down their path
they follow
No apparent pain
or sorrow.
Its the treasure
of food they seek
Their little world
so clever and meek.
Back to the queen
they go
No ribbons, no show.
Tireless excursions,
back to the hill
A life of labor untold,
no cheers and no frill.

Poetry: Ant hills
by Gary Maclean
A dozen little mounds
A hundred little trails
A thousand little workers
All bustling on the hills
Hills as big as a wagon wheel
Laid across the landscape
Like castles made of sand
Each a fortress built by perseverance
And teamwork
Gateways to an unseen
The human race is a lot like ants,
in a way we can not truly understand.
Our homes are our own personal mounds of dirt.
They
A tiny little mound
No more than a half inch wide
I can't help but wonder
How many ants are living inside
I know they're in
Ant hills and sugar trails
Feisty puppies, wagging tails
Lemonade sold at a stand
Castles built in the sand
Popsicles turning
