Ode to Mosquito -- a Poem for Friday Writings #131 and for my modification for dVerse

   Oh Poor Mosquito

*Oh poor mosquito bane of man 
We adore some of your courage
Take chances of death or crippling 
Synthetic chemicals inhaled 

*You were swatted in innocence 
*you minding your regular ways 
Habits you learned at baby nest 
Fast learner, learned from seeds left there 

*Mother Nature in your being 
 *will to stay alive.  Embedded 
In those seeds keys to survival 
*Earnestly bite and propagate

  and I have renewed this poem from the graveyard of unused drafts not yet discarded (read below)
 
 - I was first linked with Laura at dVerse prompt at 
where we are to improve a fragment with problems or is unfinished. 
  I chose one which I had not finished.  Meant to be a short ode I tried to keep the theme.  Lines Italicized and starting with an asterisk are original. If something is underlined, I have added to the old line.

Figment gone wild -- for dVerse Quadrille #203

   Can't Win All


Tell you little figment bout

my imagination wild 


Was a little boy again 

getting the cows to come in 


Birdie, workhorse disliked me

concerned for the cows' freedom 


Walked over and kicked me good 

in the back I was bedridden 


I limp still today
