Michigan sundown June

Sundown lays pink stretch marks 
on its blue belly, and for breathing
the mosquitoes hate me by the mouthful

Masterfully descriptive. I always love short poems like this; most of the time, less is better! Well done.

reminds me of the hot summer nights we just had here in UK. Even had mosquitoes this year.

[Leslie Philibert]

This has a haiku-like brevity with compact observation. Fine poem.

Thank you Ana!

Nice use of the language. Never heard a sunset described with such crude elegance. I have heard that northern mosquitos are special in their voracity. Ours are more the bludgeoning variety.

No matter the bread, the mosquito is a blister. Thanks for reading delmar.
