hmm, good point! we touch lives in many ways.

Ouch, sounds like someone’s been hurt, used, or abused. Definitely gets that feeling and point across.

And hope you don’t mind, but I did a mirror poem, trying to replicate the style, feel, and format with just a different insect for inspiration and a different message.

Great job! I piggy-backed on THX 0477 ’s idea of an imitation poem, but with a few little changes in format to make it my own.

Good idea! I don’t mind at all; I’m happy to inspire :)

Thanks for the positive comments.

I like it. It seems to describe the worst parts of human nature.

This is a good viewpoint, I agree with this. Some people are mosquitoes. Even if we slap them they leave a stain of blood on us.

I agree with Blossom’s comment. Some people will forever mark us.
