"To Mrs. Midge Fly and Company"

Good morning, Mrs. Midge. What brings you here today?

I don't get to see you much, but I know you're here to stay.

It seems you like to keep in touch, but I wish you'd go away.

I see you brought your sisters, too; I know just what you'd like to do, but rest a while, will you please.

These yellow pinwheels in the breeze, were placed there just to meet your needs.

I'd love to see you stick around, no sense you resting on the ground.

Moses

Moses- so cool!!! Who knew we had a poet laureate in our midst? Hopefully she'll take your advice and "stick" around, haha!

:) Great one! It's so Lilo et al. My most recent one is of spring memories (soft spring rains and pink petals blowing). Or wishes. Dunno which! See how you live in the moment? It's nice. You are my "today aspiration".

Went to a local lake the other day and saw a pair of Pelicans, Mallards, Mergansers, about 40 Canada Geese, Wood ducks, Cormorants, lots of Gulls and some domestic Ducks and Geese that People had dropped off. People were feeding them bread and getting quite an audience. Like your poem Lilo guess spring is in the air, You will likely see the Canada geese flying over or perhaps stopping for a bit soon.

No coyotes around here (that I have seen). However, I have raccoons that climb my 6' cedar fence and then poop in the back yard! Today, I saw a hoof print in a damp spot behind the fence. It indented less than half an inch and showed a 3-toed hoofed animal. There are some deer around here, but this print was only the size of a quarter. I am puzzled. Finally, I got the rabbits to stay away from my veggies (also inside the 6' cedar fence). I see lots of them on my early morning walks. I wish that we had some coyotes to take care of those rascals.

Love it!!! I'm not much of a poet and don't I know it! I don't think I could do a poem like that Moses...well done!

Moses- I read this poem to my husband, having to explain what rose midge was first, and he loved it too. It is very clever indeed!

Love the poem! I have not seen a midge issue here yet. After reading numerous posts about it; I'm hoping it stays that way! Good luck to everyone battling midge.
