We have a problem with ants in this apartment. Actually, it seems like we've always dealt with ants here in Virginia. If Holly leaves wrapped candy in her purse, the ants find it quickly. And we are on the second floor of an apartment. Talk about industrious! Anyway, I don't leave food on my desk but it seems daily that I find a little ant searching just the same. The poetry prompt for day 4 was to write about an animal. I don't know if I have ever written poetry about any animals before. I thought I would try a non-rhyming form called Shadorma. Shadorma is a Spanish 6-line syllabic poem of 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllable lines respectively. Here is my attempt:
My husband John and I have been married for 22 years as of April 2009. We have 3 children- two teens and a 10 year old and have been homeschooling for most of their lives. After John left the State Police in 1992, we spent 10 years as missionaries to Romania. We returned from the field in March of 2007. John was rehired by the State Police in 2008 and the whole family is very involved in ministering in a new church plant.
