blood donors

Published on 5 Sep 20225 Sep 2022 by Laura Bloomsbury31 Comments
September
and garden work returns.
Gone the long hot days 
yet still with naked limbs
revealed, busy diggers
mowers and sowers
relish cooler air

Barely felt
skin-dipping skeeters
come plundering blood
for eggs

drop them pondside
beneath fading flag and lily 
in their hundreds

Just 44 words for Lisa’s quadrille prompt: work
