The Cricket

Up the hill the cricket goes. The ant queen, a helmet she bestows. A stick as sword, a pebble as shield. Leading a swarm over the field. High hopes, ambitious pride. Too bad, the little cricket died.

When I wrote this, I wondered how others would interpret it. I know the meaning of a poem is with the reader much more than the writer, and I love your take on it!
