Those poor insect creatures have a bad enough time dealing with DDT. This little girl has to go swatting them. Nice write.

Such a lovely haiku my dear poet friend, Trina. I remembered when I was a child. I wast wondering where their lights, too. I enjoyed reading from you today. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes always and God bless. Hugs
