Anisha Dutta Poet Couplet

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.
