The Purple Ant

Rating: 5.0


Proceed, proceed, purple ant
Father's name you ever chant.
All over the day you work,
Never do you fall in jerk.

While you see the rice grain,
It falls top of polish plain.
All with your members come
Smile, smile you take some.

While we see you in the park
Mile you show us give the mark.
Word of God you ever tell,
Watching us you ring the bell.

Near you soon all children come
Hear new story press the thumb.
Value and virtue you too teach,
You make them clear soon each.

Whole day you do hard do work
Spread your vision in the murk.
Singing song you climb plant,
Proceed, proceed, purple ant.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
By seeing the purple ant here a man says, 'You go on proceeding ahead oh dear purple ant. Father's name you chant frequently ever. We know that all over the day you work and never fall in jerk. If rice grain falls on top of polish plain and while you see this you along with all members come. You take some of grains with smile and ever smile. While we see you in park at that time you show styles and give us mark. You ever tell us the word of God. Also you ring the bell as alert by watching us. Eagerly soon all children come near you. They hear new story from you and press the thumb. You teach children and rest of all about value and virtue too. Soon each by each child to all children you make everything clear. You work very hard the entire day. Even in darkness and darkness caused by mist around, you spread your vision and work. You climb plant by singing song happily. Oh dear purple ant likewise you go on proceeding ahead.' This poem is based on such theme. This is written in Odisha, India and dedicated to the people of the world.

I was drawn in by the wonderful title. You provide a great reminder of the virtues of ants, working so hard, and overcoming obstacles far greater than they are. We can all learn from a purple ant.

This poem has a musical 'ding dong bell' effect! Yes, ants are so hard working and we can learn many valuable lessons from them! Enjoyed this sweetly rhyming poem!

This poem gave me a break from the reading of the usual submissions. The poetic devices applied have worked magically and in terms of quality writing with a pedagogic flavour you have done a marvellous job here madam Mahakul. Here is a 10 awarded for you...
