Descending foot... which way, little ant, will you go?
Link with 1100: Under foot.
[Some of my childhood friends liked to step on ants that we'd find scurrying over the sidewalks. I preferred to watch them and I was fascinated with their industrious behavior.]
i was more cruel than you. i would chase them down and put them in a bucket of water where they would slowly drown. i don't do any harm to them any more, though
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Hope it moved out from under your big foot!! Catch up on all your gems I've missed later. Hope I don't get stepped on.
The way of being industrious!?:)
