stupid mosquito
doesn’t realize winter’s on the cusp
of the horizon
thinks she can fight her way through the pane
come in an grab
one more for the road
maybe unload
some form of catastrophe
upon me

I’ll not fall for her knocking
though
Oh, no!
She’s not getting in here,
no matter how dear her cries
try to mesmerize
and draw me to the window
creeping

she’ll not convince me
that winter’s sleeping
and summer’s bent on its keeping

Oh, no!
I’ll not open up
to let in the liar’s promise
of warm
warm enough for mosquito
so warm enough for me
ha, ha
I know better
the chill that tickles
my calves and ankles
it tells the true nature
of nature today,
so,
Stupid Mosquito,
Go AWAY!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Tee Hee ....enjoyed this smile making poem! Slap it if it tries to sneak in :
aloha, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa
