Mosquitoes Lament

angst, body, cry, hurt, imagery, insect, war, DODOITSU (A MOSQUITO'S LAMENT) THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB © This sacrificial lamb starts An aggressive night ensues Mosquito’s ‘ding’ clarifies Dinner is almost served! TAKE COVER! © I’m a prisoner trenched down Under cover of ‘sheeted' white Less the incoming wine made Mosquitoes blood bath! DON’T SCRATCH! © Never scratch mosquito bites Her taste that got me to itch Her siren call wined the night long But her bite remains! THE ‘VAMP’ COMES WOOING! © Her ‘vamp’s’ lick plagues me still She has sucked me dry of blood I was her menu this night ***** left me an itch! I AM HER MARK! © The insanity of her wine A war siren at best call Warns me she is to strike again She needs to feed to feed young And I am her mark! INVASION ‘BITES’ © Summers heat holds cries for ‘arms’ Mosquito’s invasion scores Her sacrificial lambs are’ feed’ Blood she craves for youngsters Gives them tastes for more! OH THAT ITCHES! © Her mark is dotted on the spot Her small wounds itch to be scratched This ‘calling-card’ of her bites Her return for blood is made Her young will need feed! TAKE COVER! © Midnight swarms with bloody fare Sirens are set to wine and worn Attacks are brutal and stun No matter what order taken Bug spray, slaps, or cover! A SIREN’S WARNINGS!’ © Attacks overhead strikes a bite Spent siren wines forewarning That gains a mosquitoes’ win Its advantage strike! MOSQUITO ANGST © It takes the metal out of fight When over taken by tiny mites Commandeering from overhead With intolerable sirens Before the attack!
