The Little Red Ant Who Came To Visit

A little red ant scampered
                                                  over my blanket and climbed
                                                     just to bite me and visit
                                                           as I fell asleep.
                                                                   ~~~

                                                 With my eyes closed I felt him 
                                                    crawl by the picnic basket
                                                   to my guest who just arrived,
                                                          eyes now on Tracie.

                                                                    ~~~

This is an awesome write my friend! I rather have feelings of angst for ants! They have crawled all over me before and it seems that they all nit me all at once. Oh the pain that I felt then! How many bit you in this write? It seems to me just one, imagine all of them biting you! That's pain right there! You've written a fantastic write here Michael! I love your poem immensely!!

This is so sweet for Tracie, she gets to be a guest at a lovely picnic, but oh no, she is going to be BITTEN. Good one,Michael.
