Today’s challenge: concrete poem, enjambement, animal.
If I had the time my plan was to write this using the image/shape of an ant. For those of you who are unfamiliar with my story or the content of my blog, ‘Ant’ is my unwanted BFF automatic negative thoughts. She’s an old friend that I don’t really want in my life, but who seems intent on sticking around.
Apologies for not meeting the ‘concrete’ brief, but if you knew the night I’d had I think you’d let me off, just this once.
ANT
Almost invisible to the human eye, but ever there. Ever busy. Annoying little ANT.
You think I can’t see you, but I’m not stupid. My thoughts of you are lucid as the words I speak.
You think me too weak to deal with your ever-present shadow.
What I do know is that you can’t beat me, even now. Not when I frown, not when I’m down.
Try as you might to spite me, I’m fighting. Busy, annoying, little ANT.
Great message in your poem, and I love the final line! I hope you’re having a better day/night.

I closed my eyes, and pretended it was ant shaped … 🙂 As a fellow ANTer, I really like the poem!

Thanks for making the allowance! I haven’t tackled Day 5 yet 😳. Few things getting in the way at the minute (Ant isn’t one of them luckily!)
