Buzzing among the lights
Skittering in the dark
The infestation has begun
They strike without a care
Causing pain and strife
I try to stop their entry
Yet they also slip inside
Finding holes I did not see
Or waiting by the door
To scuttle in as I come and go
I hear them in my sleep
And find them when I wake
Destroying all I find
But there is always more
About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

Every time I think I want to move back to New Orleans I remember the flying bugs I put up with for 50 years. OMG! None of that here and I’m grateful for it.

They’re big in Florida. Unavoidable if you live in a complex. One neighbor with a pet or bad cleaning habits can doom the entire floor.

Yes, I’ve been there and remember the water bugs and love bugs.
