In a Meadow

On the Rainbow Side of Heaven I watch an ant meander beneath a meadow web It reaches up to sip at rainbow-ed dew No motion from the spider to wrap this daylight prey Her need, by fire-flies, has long been filled . Suzanne Delaney

Love the tribute to time standing still as you invite us to watch with you this little ant as it goes about its business.

This being my favorite topic I am taking this Poem first my friend. You have almost painted a unique landscape filled with the beauty of Rainbow colors and refreshing beauty of dew drops. Even smaller insects like ants and spiders too have found a place in your unique scene. Great write my friend and thank you for your precious words on my Poem "Be Aware of the Moving Azgar" Love and best wishes always....Ravindra.... Suzanne Delaney

Wow, what a unique picture you paint. This can be taken in a lot of different ways, but that's why I like it. Very abstract. Best of luck in the contest!

Surely there's a Japanese poetic form somewhere that will match these beautiful, spare lines... Jack
