slow pace of Sundays -
an ant crawls between newsprint
lost to many worlds

The rains are quietly slipping in mostly by night drizzles; not enough for cool days, just enough to tease.

    The idea that an ant crawling on a newspaper is actually an ant lost among many worlds is a very clever image as I imagine it might feel that way to the ant!!

    I love this poem, with its solitary ant ambling along......our sun just came out after a rainy spring and the entire village is overrun by both locals and a kazillion tourists, just like an anthill that got disturbed.......LOL.

    Hi Gillena, I like the image of ant, feeling maybe as a stranger on the typing field of newspaper...This way I'm feeling now trying to invent a new way for myself... Thanks for friendly comments!

    No doubt the ant is a scout for his tribe ... and they'll all be along shortly! Love the thought of the teasing rains.

    I do not see the ant, although I looked for it, foolishly no doubt. And our rains are the same, slipping in and out by night, leaving little. Love the Basho. Happy Day!

    This is such a clever haiku, Gillena. Your pieces always give me thoughtful pause. And I very much enjoyed the Basho haiku.

    The aunt made me think of the news that is not judged important enough to make it to the front page, and gets lost in the mess of bigger words...

    Clever and evocative, Gillena. I love the contrast of a lazy Sunday reading the paper and an industrious ant crawling in the news.

    When I see a busy ant crawling along, often with a heavy load, I compare their population on earth to the human population in our gargantuis universe.
    Nice haiku/Senryu. .
