Ciao poet, you have three votes now!
I love the fire in winter in my fireplace but I not sure if a campfire will keep those darn 'squitos away...reading your wee poem looks like fire and smoke don't help much.
I try to avoid getting bitten because those pesky insects are full of diseases these days. Usually, I wear long sleeves and pants outside when I water my tiny green patch.
The pic you chose looks beautiful on that black background.
I take note because I take time in choosing the right art work, myself.

Thanks for such a glowing review for my Summertime post.
Those mosquitos really like me. Long-sleeved shirts help just a bit (-;

I read that mosquitoes prefer type 0 blood over the others.
And don't forget only the females bite ..they need more nutrients (blood ) to produce eggs.

Yes, I am O, so the girl mosquitos do adore me

😂 best post I read today ..
it made me grin 😝
Ciao Marco! 🍀

This is a good idea for a 5-7-5 poem and has the required syllable count per line. However, I would have left out 'damn' in the last line and just put 'mosquitoes' rather than abbreviating it to 'squitos' as personally I don't really like colloquial abbreviations. Having said that this is a great poem so good luck in the contest

Eleri,
I had considered your suggestion, but my intent was to ID those pesky bugs. Besides, forgetting about my colloquial usage, it is an appropriate descriptor (-;

Dolly,
Some of us (me!) have sweet blood and those mozzies have a field day with us. Bug spray only entices them to visit (-; With a breeze, it may alleviate the bite annoyance.

Me too, they love my blood! They are little buggers!
