Ant On A Log
Once there was a log Floating downstream On a swift-flowing river Towards a sawmill. And, on that log, Perched on a loose patch of bark, Behind a broken limb, There was an ant. The ant didn’t know about the sawmill. He did not hear the rushing water. He couldn’t tell the size of the log, Or perceive the danger he was in. On that piece of bark,...

Premium Member GO TO THE ANT THOU SLUGGARD
Consider its ways and be wise. Hard work its whole day does comprise. Working through its daily routine It follows orders of the queen. It does the cleaning and repair, Fixing where there is wear and tear. You’ll see it hauling leaves and sticks, Materials for the nest to fix. Repairs complete - no loose ends seen, It...

Premium Member Ant Mounds
Someone spoke to me of the amazing mounds built by ants and how they best dispose of them. I spoke of how from under the ground without a sound, they astound. And I spoke of the rapidity with which they constructed their mounds but added, "I have no desire to dispose of them". I regularly encounter them along the driveway...

Premium Member Adrift
Tiny and trembling, the ant on its leaf-raft, each ripples a new world.... The rush of the current, and the stillness of the leaf, are not the same... The panic of separation, and that haunting feeling, of a colony left behind... The vastness of the river, and unknown horizons? And home so distant now.... The quiver of antennae, sensing unfamiliar scents, carried on the breeze... That fleeting security, six legs gripping...

Premium Member Tiny Troopers
Marching in line, six legs on the ground, These mini-soldiers do not make a sound. Nature's army, tough as can be, Fighting for the queen and colony. Antennae twitching, always alert, Ready for battle in leaves and dirt. No fear, no doubt, just pure dedication, Defending their home with determination. Scouts lead the way, workers follow through, Soldiers guard flanks, and the enemy pursues. Each...
