Ant’s Journey

By Raven Howell

Scurry now,
No time to waste,
Hurry up,
I'm making haste.

I mount a blade,
Pass a clover,
Scale a rock,
Scramble over.

A little breeze,
A leafy stalk,
I sway, I climb,
No time to talk.

No time to stroll,
No time to slip,
I'm on my way
To the Popsicle drip

 The ant in the poem wants to

A. stop walking.
B. have something to eat.
C. explore the plant.
D. get ahead of the other ants.
