We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Red Ants
Red Ants
Red ants Bold and pushy Marching steadily Like Napoleon’s army Across the countertop
Pestilent soldiers Swift and hungry Seeking pizza Like Italian laborers If only I’d put away the leftovers!
