I loved reading your haiku. It is nicely written. I found your poem to be interesting, and thought provoking. Great contest entry. Good luck in the contest. I liked that your poem is simple, and yet very visual at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Sometimes words alone are more powerful, as the reader is forced to do the thinking, and deducing. I like your Haiku, and find it thought-provoking and interesting. Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Thesis
I like it. The silent ant army soldiers walking in line, I've seen many times. It's simple, but very visual, even without the picture. Good luck in the contest. It's a great entry.

I think the choice not to include the picture was the right one. The mental image works well. You did a great job describing this. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from royowen
I must agree with about the artwork, although I would generally use, The haiku lends itself more to the artless decision. Very clever, and excellent entry in this contest, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy, for taking the time to review my haiku. This piece almost felt like an experiment as most of the reviewers wanted to see a photo. Perhaps the haiku contests should be without a photo and then we may see more creative and insightful entries ;-)

That?s a good plan
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Haiku Poetry Contest.
I you dont need a picture. Concrete images easy to visualize. i can imagine the working ants moving along.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Goodluck

GBR, thank you for taking the time to review my haiku. Very much appreciated. ~DD
Comment from Janet Foor
You were right not to post a picture even if it was perfect for the poem. Never want to give away the "punch" or or in this case, the "satori" line.
Well done and good luck.

Thank you, Janet, for your supportive review on my haiku. Yes, the satori punch line was best served with imagination ;-) Cheers ~DD

Comment from Terry Broxson
Let me address your note first, and you are absolutely right; there is not a need for a picture of this because you painted it in the reader's mind, and it will be different for each reader.
The haiku is flawless. Outstanding work. Terry.

Thank you, Terry. I very much appreciate your supportive review. I breathe a sigh of relief as many a reviewer seem to be lost without a picture attached to their post. Blessings to your. ~DD
Comment from dragonpoet
HI DD,
I like the imagery and metaphor/pun in this haiku. Yes. these ant are quiet to us, but probably not to themselves. There are likely leaders telling the other ants what to do.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
