The Drafts Go Marching One by One



Comments:
Great title. As usual, I enjoy the cascading strings of sounds - "spoil the picnic and pick the spoils" is a particularly good turn. Not sure about "chant to the mantis god" - the assonance is good, but the references takes me out of a blurring torrent of ant bodies into something green and jarring. Terrific ending.
 
Okay, Steve, you beat me to the punch.

I've been trying to figure out how to work myrmidon into a poem for a long time.

Thanks for posting your work. It's an inspiration.
