CREATURES

No one knows from whence they come

those creatures of the night

stealthily amassing

with their blood-soaked swords to fight

 

They give nor ask no quarter

in their frenzied feeding lust

those damnable Mosquitoes

can suck you dry as dust.

I'm sorry folks but I have spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to reply to you individually on your comments to my poems.....still can't make sense of it. having a deteriorating memory doesn't help.

Thank you all for commenting on my poem.
It is about a year since I was last on this site and things have obviously changed....I can no longer figure out how to reply to individual comments?
