Will look at future mosquitoe bites in a different way now. There not the kisses I want but do like the sweet way of seeing them. Emilia : )

Those Asian tiger mosquitoes are such irritable pests! Not the type of kisses one yearns for :) I can feel the itchiness just by reading this poem!! ~ Regards // paul
