What a delightful description of a family picnic you have given us - and then the twist that it is not a human family that march to the picnic. I could relate to this as an Australian - many a picnic when we were kids was interrupted by ants moving in for the feast.

Very funny! I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. The meter and rhymes were well planned. And, of course, the surprise "twist" ending gave me a good laugh.

What a great children's poem! Nice logical progression, good ending, and great imagery and descriptions along the way. You did a nice job setting the table, as it were. The cadence sagged a bit in the middle; the longer the poem, the bigger that challenge becomes. By and large, the rythms were natural as well. Well done!

Child-friendly from the topic to the language to the illustration. I can see this being part of a kids collection. Good luck in the contest.

Very well expressive and lovely picnic poem for kids. I'm sure a few kids will pick up the line about the fifteen of us. Flows well and will diffently keep them amused. Best Wishes and God Bless you.

We had an unscheduled picnic last night after an outdoor play--it was a last-minute idea and lots of fun. Fortunately, we encountered no ants! Your rhymes brought back happy memories. I hope your entry does well in the contest- Joan

After all it is their part of the land. We only visit. But cute poem about the "invading ants" who snatched up the food , right out of their little claws. People have such trouble when ants invade their houses - this si a cute poem

Oh, this one's a sixer for sure. It's very well-written; you've made excellent use of specific details to take the reader on your happy little jaunt to the park. Then--I FIND OUT YOU ARE ANTS! LOL!

Well wouldn't you know it the Ants won. Great poem. I had no clue until the end so kudos to you for your innovative imagination. Very entertaining and flowed well from beginning to end. I like your style.
