Poetry Monday :: Ants

  Diane of On the Border and Jenny of Procrastinating Donkey are taking turns hosting Poetry Monday, supplying us with a theme and crafty poems, they are open for suggestions.
  Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings also writes a poem for us to enjoy.

  This Monday Jenny Red has given us Ants.  

I made an oxymoron. A rhyming haiku. 
Disclaimer. This is not a true haiku, This  is a crazy haiku.

When the small green ants
get into your garden pants.
It's time to buy plants.


Next Monday's topic is Leaves, thank you Diane.

  1. It may not be considered a true haiku, but it is certainly a fun one!

  2. Smiling. Unless of course the ant in question is Australia's green-headed ant. In that case it is time to strip off the pants (those beasties BITE). New plants are always welcome though.

    1. These green-headed ant sound like a nasty species of ants. I am happy to say that we have only small not very aggressive ants in Denmark, even though a bunch of Wood ants can ruin a pick-nick, they bite as well, as I think all ants do. My green ants are a poetic species, foretelling the arrival of spring.

  3. Aha, 'forecasting' ants! Nature has a cycle, if you have eyes to see :)

    (I should clarify that 'leaves' is Diane's choice of topic. I should be making that more clear in my blog, and I will try to remember to :))

    1. Yes, I found it suspicious-like that you served the prompts for two weeks running, but as Diane's post was not up yet, I thought ... well so be it.
      I'll rectify my mistake.

    1. The green ants are a symbol of gardening anticipation - the gardener's version og ants in your pants ;) Told you it was crazy.
