Here's a Sunday 160 in honor of the Monkey Man's first anniversary hosting this exercise in brevity:
Ants dash across my desk, taking turns
like rioters do, hurling bombs into shop windows.
Their minuscule legs race faster
than my colossal finger can crush them.

Oh, no, invasion of the any bombers! I know, maybe it's time to bring your amazing elbow into the fray. (I just loved that comment!).
Very cute and descriptive 160. It conjures up images like those in the Saturday afternoon movies I used to see as a kid.
Thanks for visiting my entry!
We recently had the same problem with gnats. Love 160's that make me smile. Thanks for bringing levity to the brevity and for recognizing the first anniversary of the Sunday 160.
Funny, I just cleaned up a bunch of ants near the cat's bowl today. Must be lack of rain here.
Wonderful 160, the imagery and the description are really charming :)
Such a creative way to view ants. Great job. On my recent trip up north, I was bombarded by little gnat-like bugs they call "no-see'ms". They bite!
You have got to get the sugar off your desk. Don't even give the little buggers an excuse to be there.
Great 160! It's true about ants you know. And as bizarre as it sounds, when they're outside, doing what ants do, I think they're sort of cute!
