Summers Meal

Flashing fireflies silently taunt,  Catch us if you can.  Ravenous mosquitos drop by to dine. (Unwanted patrons who leave an itchy tip.) A clingy June Bug  gets tangled in my hair–Yuck! His legs wrap my fingers  as I frantically set him free. Choirs of locusts fill every tree. Their never-ending hymn makes me want to shout, Qui--et!    Motionless air laced with sweaty humidity, boldly announces... Summer’s consumption of Spring.
