Little Ants

Today is the last day of NaPoWriMo 2026! I hope you enjoy my final poem for this month.
 

Little Ants
By Candace Shultz

Why do you lay siege to my home?
You march in single formation,
Ready to plunder my forgotten treasures.
You would take everything from me,
Picking each crumb off one by one
Until I have nothing left.
I will fight for what's mine
Even if my skin crawls with
The shadows of your soldiers 
As they haunt me from a hidden realm,
Little ghost ants plotting my demise.
