On Hiatus with a Praying Mantis

Gary Edward Geraci

On hiatus with a praying mantis,

Lured by the Light, hands pressed in front of us,

A meal we seek: may mine be Glorified,

With snap and pop his falls electrified;

God’s creation, nothing superfluous.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Peter, the praying mantis, patrols our front porch. This year swarms of mosquitos have assaulted our front door, driving us to plug in an insect zapper and providing a fertile pile of insect corpses for Peter to forage through. Written in an AABBA limerick, 10 syllables per line.
