Long Anopheles Poems

Tutankhamun, a small bird of prey
This pharaoh of Ancient Egypt
 Akhenaten’ son and his sister “the Young Lady”.
 Alas! Alas! Alas! Ay that was the name of his vizier
His minister or favourite
He made him marry
As...

A swarm of mosquitoes there was
Of  different ethnic origin, language and culture.
Aedes, anopheles, culex and others
Some fragile,  some agile and some avaricious,
The anopheles was the most fragile but avaricious.

This human, they set eyes...

An amber light from a flower lamp,
Shrouds the room, 
With a missing a petal,
The 75 watts bulb pierces it like a stigma,
There's an old mattress lying on the floor,
The brown cold floor with the smell...

It’s  voice causes the shiver
its name causes the stagger
tremours boiling
fettle downpouring
Heartbeats panicking
families isolating

Like a turret, it oozes
like a trumpet, it blows
emanating shockwaves
spurring Venom
hissing sparks
scything down humans like grass.

Some say the states gave it light
But...

Address to miss mosquito(A free verse pun)

Miss mosquito why?why do all these?
your species-Anopheles breed freely,
And ours are hindered with impunity,
You multiply and feed on our haemoglobin,
Which decreases and weaken our demoglobin.

Can`t you be rational for...

“Buzz buzz”, the anopheles shrilled the night
As with hunger on grasses, they slumbered without light
Babies, held against skeleton milkless breasts
And gnashing teeth, the men in dispiritedness beat their chests.
 
The greybearded simply await their knell...

there is stain
stainless stain
none sees
stigma bin niche 
in the heart of my rose 
the youthful rose

road to road
lane by lane
the fragrance 
comes with virginity
of wile
will-o-the-wisp

the lace of writing
makes the attire
makes the disguise fire
on the Tyre...

Suck blood like a vampire from a strange empire ,
Not invited but invite herself,
Pass through tiny holes and mesh of the net to 
Set her proboscis on the skin…
Night crawler and unwanted flying creature ..
Dances...

I Slept with a Female Mosquito
(part III)

Honorable Adjudicators.
How did she enter? Anopheles!
Oblivious, she trailed me?
To my chamber, stalker – to my bed, bawdy
Sneaked in my quilt
Skirting – 
The radar of my eye
The aerials of my...

I Slept with a Female Mosquito..... By Peter Onyancha
(part I)

I Slept with a Female Mosquito. 
Waking up, Good morning, but goodness!
Stupid lewd fly; family of the blood sucker
Fretful, I study the plumped mosquito
My science talks...

I Slept with a Female Mosquito
(part II)

Thoughtless, it perched 
The hollow leech, insolent bloodsucker
Sardonic radiation of the red mine; mine! 
Psychedelic distress; wily mistress
She, nude, proudly poses pregnant
With my blood! I am drained
My blood. Myself....

Do we understand
Can we begin to imagine
What it's like
  to live over there

Where drinking water and toilet water
  come from the same source
Where trips into town
  are by donkey or horse

Where babies...
