Imagine

She lies in the shade of the tree

Half asleep thinking of having to move

Heart breaking ,tears falling

Her best friend has moved away

 

Imagine,she thinks, can an ant cry

Turning on her side she watches ants run wildly

Her tears fall gently like rain

The ants used leaves for an umbrella

 

Then as the tears stop in her wonderment

She looks on as an ant is wandering away

Are you moving she thinks,Can you cry

Do ants feel like humans, she wonders

 

Turning back over her mind racing

With questions and ideas of

What an ants life would be like

Her heartache forgotten with her curiosity...

This is lovely..
It truly reveals how our minds
can wander from one moment
to the next .... emotion overshadowed
with thoughts of the next moment.

Brilliant actually.. you brought the
reader right there .... as if I were
the character, seeing and feeling,
watching the ants journey.

Imagery exceptional..

Well done!

A beatiful view into an obscure and tiny moment in life, moments we could miss without the view of a poet. Nicely written, good structure.

I love the imagery and the metaphor!
It kept me interested until the very end, it was a beautiful composition and I enjoyed reading it!
