Criss Cross

CRISS-CROSS Hill was criss-crossed on net- work of tea plants. While walking, I observed long queue of ants. Ants to cross road from one side to other. People coming, crossing, did not bother. I am to watch minutely for minutes. Being disturbed by steps, for moments row splits. All disciplined to form prompt a new row. Odor of ants is signal to follow. I took a little leap to cross the queue. A dazzling dew drop came into my view. It is enjoying smart behavior of wonderful species, being admirer. Curiosity-appreciation rejoiced to meet at a cross-connection. Third place in 'Cross' Contest First Place 'MARCH WEEK 1 2019' Contest by Brian Strand 'Rhyming Couplets' Contest by Janice Canerdy

As a child, I enjoyed watching ants too. They create quite a society, Anisha. Enjoyed your poem. With many outstanding entries, judging was difficult (again). Congratulations on your win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn
