Skeeter

by *ghostlove

Why do you bug me, little mosquito
with your siren-whine which mines my mind?
You scream past my ears, invisible
in the dark, greedy for my blood,
my vital fluid your refreshment;
my existence, your sustenance.

I wish to squish you, little skeeter.
I search for you, ungraspable
in this opaque night, you are concealed;
My thoughts unhinged by your rasping scream.
Vociferous in your hunger, you search
for nourishment from my spirit.

Just for fun. Work in progress, as all of my writing is really.

Choice words there miss, and choice concept, verging on abstract, applies to all mosquito-like characters.

That was meant to be funny, right? :giggle: It was hilarious- mosquitos are coming up a lot lately for m- someone on myjournal was in a swarm of them apparently. :faint:

But I really liked this- even when writing about mosquitos you write beautifully - it sounds fab :w00t: and I just love the word little 'skeeter'- but have to ask on a serious note what 'vociferous' means.

Then I can add it to my 'learn a word a day' on 43 things!! XD! Great job!!!

You know, I know exactly what you mean. And it's fun to read! Especially:

'I wish to squish you, little skeeter.'

Brilliant.
