Mosquitoes favour
river banks – hopefully hate
repellent, free me
to linger as dusk settles
catch that last flash of colour.

Love the image you created of the sunset scene. ❤ I know it's hard being a photographer when the bugs are out. I got attacked by black flies in my last photo adventure a few days ago.

That’s brutal. We don’t have black flies, but I did get bitten by a deer fly – and of course, several mosquito bites. Not enough to stop me.

I love the quiet of late evenings, the last rays of sunlight! Really do not like the mosquitoes at all! Enjoyed your poem!
