S a C L S

Smallest of ants could be called a hexaped.

Ants by the millions spew from a subterranean bed.

Cast(s) of thousands work relentlessly to be fed.

Long hours of constant foraging or many go dead.

Shadows of their incessant hunger we face with dread!



For the "Smallest Ants Cast Long Shadows," contest.

Oh so, so true. There are so many hungry maws on my yard, I face them and the washing line where make a living, moving carpet underneath, with dread every time I wash. Terrific read.
