The Red Weaver Ant..! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

With its shiny red segmented body It tends to move here and there But with a sure purpose and set flair:
Agile, fierce deliberate and gaudy ; Some strange, yet intrinsic drive
Brings them together..., all around On to a chosen branch, well found For a unique feat, manoeuvre and strive -
The leaf, stem and the fibres so thin
Are punched in seamer lines: so neat
Shapely and crafty with a full treat: Marvel and Nature's gift come up to win;
Who taught them; in which Academy benign
Did they learn to be so perfect in design? !
