THE ANTS CRAWL (Monday Poem)

by Eleanor Schick


The ants crawl
over my arm
and back
into the grass
again.

They mean me
no harm.

I am only a
mountain
to them.



from The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom, selected by Jack Prelutsky, illustrated by Meilo So, 1997, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.
