The Mosquito's Lullaby of Death

Alas, at night starts the night tune Thought to lull me to sleep good. A rhythm of sweet deadly melodies in my ears Even, clapping my hands to the melody that causes tears. I stay awake because of the songs I hear, Sadly clapping my hands for the tunes I fear If I do not clap hands, I will go six feet under the land. To my hearing the mosquito sings aplomb, Biting and sucking my blood When I lay down my head for rest What a sweet voice you possess! At times, I painfully beat and slap myself When she begins her song of death. © PRINCE C. E. AGBA

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
