Now That Spring Is Here...

For One Single Impression Prompt: Warmth

Buggie 2 Little mosquito,
Gouge as much blood as you can
-go, then it's my turn!


FlowersWhen I was sobbing,
What I would not have given
-for just one warm smile

    These are both so different! I wonder what you mean by 'then it's your turn'.

    I pity the mosquito!

    I too have longed for the warmth you describe in the second poem.

    Thanks for these.

    I feel that second one very deeply.

    (As an aside, when I landed on your page through Mr. Linky, it was at "Lasting Impression." My reaction was: that's not warm, that's cold!)
