• Crane Flies

  This is for murisopsis' June 2015 scavenger hunt. I know she was talking about the buzzing, biting type of crane flies, but as usual my mind immediately went in a different direction. My poem is inspired by current events... ripped from the headlines, you might say. It's not great poetry, but it amuses me.

   

  When crane flies over country roads
  Beside fen, swamp and marsh
  The things it drops to earth below
  Will send you to the car wash

  When crane flies in Manhattan skies
  O'er building heights infinite
  The things it drops will squash you flat
  Inside a New York minute
