JC Brul Poet Tanka

My Nightly Visitors

As summer begins,
frequent visitors woo me;
Mosquitoes in stripes~
Stealing kisses on my cheeks,
Leaving kiss marks left and right.

Emilia James September 15, 2021 at 6:38 AM 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 : )

Paul Callus September 12, 2021 at 8:27 AM 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
