Ninja Insect

Walking on the lawn,

Unable to stifle a yawn

“Can things be this boring?”

I ask myself

Its then- I feel something on my feet

What could it be?

I decide to sneak a peek

But see nothing

That sensation is gone momentarily

Once again I feel it elsewhere on my leg

What could it be?

I decide to sneak another peek

Heart speeds up its beating

Confusion in my mind clearly

Finally I see something,

Crawling up my leg

An insect unknown to me

Moving so fast

Its easy to lose it

I stare at it,

Not wanting to lose sight

With no shield ready for it,

My other leg puts up a big fight,

Ending with a fine stroke to get it off

Now, I don’t feel it any more,

What could it be?

Will I ever see it again?

For now- I christen it the “Ninja Insect”
