A Simple Ant Poem by Lazarus Knix
A Simple Ant
The first April ant-
Dashes across my driveway -
Into a mowed lawn.
There and gone quickly-
Though something mystifying-
Was provoked in me.
These trivial things-
Swift as spring's jaundiced lightning-
Oft have most effect-
On the grins we bring,
And the song we sing.
It seems the same inspiration ended up being a poem of nearly the same calibur. Referring to one of mine, which I just submitted a couple hours ago (Day in the Life of a Melted Plastic Soldier): funny coincidence I'd happen upon this. They both touch upon the simpleness of nature, and how the smaller things in life truely play a role in much larger ones.

Very nice. I agree with Kale. Lots of sensitivity shown here. In the third last line, just as a matter of grammar and spelling, I think you mean 'oft have most effect'.
