Gnat Bites

Gnawing gnat breaks through skin
Needle nose - spike now in
Agile, light, felt no pain
Taken blood, their feeding aim

Bites now swell and
Itch like hell
Tiny vampire
Eaten well.
Scratching, itching - skin unwell.

John Gondolf Date: 9/4/2021 6:50:00 AM Enjoyed this humorous write, Emilia. Gnats and mosquitos don't bother me too much but chiggers are a different story and we have a bunch here in Texas! Have a good weekend my friend. Hugs, John Login to Reply Emilia James Date: 9/6/2021 9:25:00 AM Thank you John, they seem to be leaving me alone...for now at least.

Rico Leffanta Date: 9/3/2021 12:00:00 PM I know of a ruin in the Southwest that archaeologists will never explore until a gnat remedy clears the area . . . . . Login to Reply Emilia James Date: 9/6/2021 9:19:00 AM Have friends that live near marshes and they can have it bad there at times. Emilia.

Tom Cunningham Date: 9/3/2021 6:11:00 AM Lol, autumn will soon be here and they can all take a hike. Plaster the bites with calomine.
