Thank you and I also had in mind that the black seeds mimic the ants or does the red blanket. I enjoyed writing this one. I thought it would place higher but oh well. Thank you! Thank you!

hmmmm. yummy! Yummy! The mood is on, the sun invites, the grasses wait and them all I shall not disappoint. Picnic it is, the garden's gates are opened for me and my family to give time some fun. Great write... I think in my humble opinion, this is more of a senryu.. Haikus are only for nature and natural elements.. Nonetheless, this is an awesome piece.

Thank you, Funom, for your sweet comment. I believe it’s all natural but I could be wrong. <3 Kim
