  • The Ant – a new poem

    Here is a journal poem that I shared on my Facebook page, and I wanted to share it in the blog.

    THE ANT

    Crawling on the ground, avoiding feet,
    avoiding being squished.

    Crawling on the ground, scaling walls,
    searching for an exit.

    Getting turned around, lost
    on a bench.

    Up is down, and sideways goes up,
    and going straight leads to a gap.

    Alone, small, and determined.

    Powerless, in need of mercy.

    Flicked to the ground
    to start it all over again.
