My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Mosquito!

​This is a poem I wrote in 2010. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with tunes of my own. This one I imagine set to the tune of Barracuda by Heart.

​run, run,
as fast as you can
you can't catch me
i'm the gingerbread man

i'm hunted in daytime
i'm hunted at night
i'm hunted by smell
i'm hunted by sight
i run as hard as i can
until i ache to the core
i turn the corner
only to find fifteen more
winged demons from hell
bring kisses of death
relentless pursuers
tracking the warmth of my breath
riding my back
they bring me down
all the while
singing with that distinctive sound
Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito!

candles can't stop them
neither can sprays
one hundred preists
can't make them go away
finally swat one
there's two more in its place
they're tricky and sneaky
make you swat your own face
they won't give up
until you're totally dry
they won't give up
until you finally die
it doesn't take
much of a spine
they don't need one
to make you lose your mind
Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito!

Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito!
