Zappin

2007 write...I found it...just finished reading Legion's "Ode to a Bug" and here is mine...

Dusk rising along the horizon
crickets beginning their nightly
summer song, as I sip my iced sweet tea
on the porch.

Mosquitos can’t seem to leave me be,
freshly made red welts breaking
out on my arms, itching begins.
They say that the little bugs dig
on the scent of bananas.
Funny that, I haven’t ate any fruit
in quite a few days.

I really need to consider purchasing
one of those bug zappers, it would make
for some entertainment
on quiet nights like this.
The popping of the little bugs
would cause much rejoicing,
and my skin would be rather pleased.

The beginning to this piece has such a tangible tone to it, imagery that plants the reader in the scene. The rest is a sort of musing train of thought, a little aimless but lighthearted and humorous. Nice little snapshot of a moment and it's dweller's thoughts.

This made me chuckle. Very clever and yes indeed playful. I enjoyed this...Nicely done...
