There's a lot of ways to think about this poem. It really is great.

You must not have been walking very fast if you're noticing what's happening to ants.
I like this - colliding ants with each other, I think they like it, and with the patch of sunlight.

Appearences
Really made me sit and think about why this appears to happen to ants under circumstances that make no sense to humans - when there is clear vision.
Ants do not collide, of course: and here I found my personal key to the haiku. No matter how obvious, appearances really do deceive!
Stunner!
Thanks for the subtlety and best of luck in the contest.
Best, p

i love the frenzy in this; makes me think of not just ants; but people on a busy sidewalk. New York City comes to mind for some odd reason.
LOVE it

Ah, myron... and the contest hostess did not even ask how long you have been writing haiku.
She kicked my butt.

Well clearLy, this is the kind of thing I need to learn how to write...LoL.
I guess you don't need a dash after 'sunlight' because...sunlight flows with the second line?
The walking track of lines is absolutely disgusting & totally brilliant.
Thanks for entering...after I sent you the URL
