Thanks, I was just thinking after our first freeze, at least the insect won't be a bother anymore, and the Haiku came into my mind. Thanks for the visit and comment, Mat. I hope to get to know you and your poetry. Have a great day! Bill

A clever haiku. Death to the ticks and mosquitos.

I think this poem is lifted by the last line cycle completed, it truly puts meaning to the magic of nature, great words greatly composed Bill

Well good riddance to those pesky flies I say. Problem is they rise from the dead come spring. Tom

Yep, that's the problem, Tom. The day the insects die is one of the positive of winter for us. lol Thanks for the comments, my friend. Bill
