Upset by the horror caused by ants that plundered into my computer
Ants are moving inside my computer monitor I feel helpless where to find an exterminator
What the humans have done to the ant community Why they come in groups to attack our property Who is responsible to invite this menace How can we get rid of such penance
Ants plundered our sugar and bread They damaged clothing by eating thread They eat flowers and roots of plants in the garden They carry away food of pets and human They bite and inject painful formic acid I wonder why they have so much greed
I am totally upset by this tiny vermin It has conspired to stop my writing
ants are to be admired for their communal lifestyle and their strength and intelligence. now, that being said..i worked for a major pest control company for 4 years. here is what to do. go out to the feed and seed or dept store and find something called "terro" ant traps. they will find it, feed on it, take the poison back to the queen and that will destroy the whole colony. that is the only way!!!!

Lol this is an amazing poem, and most of the time I hate ants as well, but we must wonder if humans are any different from ants. We plunder the world just as they do taking even more than they do, because we don't just take the things we need to survive we take items for luxury. Imagine if you were an ant. You would probably write the same poem about humans.
Undoubtedly this is a great poem. It shows how the tiniest things can cause a large amount of damage. Well done!! Keep writing!!! :)

Yes,you are very right to say that humans are worse than ants.
I would write the same poem about humans if I were an ant. :)
1. Rhyme Scheme
2. Biological References
3. Frustration Outlet
4. Vocabulary.
5. The Final Quote
The rhyme scheme gives it a lyrical and witty voice to the poem.
The biological references to the "ant" community gives it "Realism."
The frustration outlet allows anger to be expressed appropriately.
The vocabulary displays intelligence and imagery.
The final quote teases the reader; making us want more.
CONCLUSION
1. It gave me a chuckle.
2. I share your frustration.
3. Nature is fun.
Ria,this is another gift for my work from your talented heart.

A single ant may be a tiny organism,but when they come as a community
with thousands it becomes very difficult to defeat them.
We have many things to learn from the social behavior of ants.
The social nature of ants have made them very powerful.
We humans can defeat them if we attempt unitedly like the ants.
But,we humans are divided over trifling personal or political interests.
I appreciate your thoughtful contribution.
Hah, i'm lovin' it. not the part about you having an ant problem but the fact that you were so creative with it. this is very intelligent in it's ability to make the reader see all the angles of this problem your having. So creative i love it!

I understand this completely! I have a love/hate relationship with ants. I respect that they are living creatures but they annoy the life out of me. I enjoyed the descriptive way you wrote this. Very nice!
