Outside your yard watching as little dunes of sand and dirt occur from your soil.
Little soldiers scatter from the base to hunt in colonies for food.
The enemy to be the water and the feet.
The ants scatter around the hill of their home.
The little dune on sand and dirt to be in the backyard.
the base from the front to neighbors house.
The ants march around to protect.
Enemies of the red ants attack for hostage.
Protect the ant hill from sabotage and destruction.
The hill falls in.
Fail in the smoke of war.

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
