Here's some loving poetry about mosquitoes from the 6th graders of Belvidere Elementary School in Belvidere, Warren County NJ.  Sue Kizun is their teacher.

Mosquitoes follow you where ever you go.

They suck your blood and leave saliva in its place.

A welt forms on your skin

And it hurts really, really badly.

Mosquitoes are mean, mean, mean.

Nasty mosquitoes are like vampires,

They suck your blood,

And leave welts on your skin.

Nasty mosquitoes are to be avoided on warm summer nights.

Nasty mosquitoes carry diseases.

Nasty mosquitoes stay away!

Biting Mosquitoes are like

Fleas on a dog, except they are on you.

They fly and buzz around you.

Annoying they can be,

But with my bug spray, you and I can be happy

Out of their grip.

They sting and soar away.

I'll shoot some poison gas in the air.

They’ll be gone

They’ll be gone.

I’ll save the day.

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes are a pain in the neck,

They bite so hard that it hurts like heck.

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, they are mean, nasty, pests.

They go in the water and use it as a nest.

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes carry Yellow Fever,

Just imagine how sick it could make a beaver.

By Georgia Akehurst

Annoying mosquitoes are

Nasty bugs that

Carry diseases

And bite you really hard

Leaving itching welts.

I hate mosquitoes!

Nasty mosquitoes are like

Blood sucking vampires

That need blood to lay eggs.

They carry diseases

And won’t leave you alone.

They chase you around

Till you go home.

They are mean, mean bugs.

By Tuesday Barnes

Nasty mosquitoes are

Quiet little pest

Biting at our legs and arms.

Nasty mosquitoes are like a mob

Of annoying children ready to eat.

I wish that there were no such thing

As nasty mosquitoes!

Nasty mosquitoes are little pests,

They suck your blood

And leave saliva

And sometimes they leave people dead.

Mosquitoes carry diseases,

And mosquitoes are really mean.

"Go Away Mosquitoes!" is all

I have to say.

Nasty mosquitoes are like gnats,

They bite you

And leave their saliva.

Then it welts,

And it hurts so badly.

They carry diseases,

That could make you ill.

Nasty mosquitoes are like gnats!

Nasty mosquitoes are like

Sisters and brothers when they fight

They leave a welt when they bite

They are annoying

Like fleas.

Nasty mosquitoes can carry a disease.

Mosquitoes are killing machines on the go,

They bite really hard

And suck your blood.

Some carry diseases that put you in the

Emergency room.

Some are mean, few are friendly,

I hate mosquitoes!
