The first little bite

Itches, the second scratches.

The millionth cracks bone.

Yay! I was hoping I’d hook you for this one. Love how brutal you went, these locusts do not mess around🖤

Air reverberates

Our fiddle strings played red hot

Melody a plague

Honeygloom's avatar

Ooo I love this! There’s either a whole story here, or there’s a diabolical description of locusts. Really well done🖤

Eyes shut as they fly

Up your nose and down your throat

To eat your insides

Honeygloom's avatar

Oh man that is a horrible image! I absolutely love it🖤

I am many, I am legion, I am a cloud,

I am hunger. Zero sum -

my satisfaction your starvation

Honeygloom's avatar

So so good. The repetition is very hive mind and builds to a terrifying last line🖤

Dried-out crunchable

Your spindle legs form toothpicks

Two can play this game

Honeygloom's avatar

Very reasonable! Eat the thing that ate your crops, I like this plan🖤

Seven years back, I performed in an immersive launch of Resident Evil VII - two weeks of (slowly) chasing gamers with blunt objects and eating dried locusts. Fun days.

Famished plague descends

An insatiable hunger

A devouring swarm.

Honeygloom's avatar

Very epic! I love how you make the swarm feel so immense in such a small amount of space🖤

Rosin up your bows

Our symphony crescendos

Destruction descends

Honeygloom's avatar

I love this! The crescendo and then the descent, very cool take🖤

Thea Wood's avatar

Prepare, ye sinners

God and Mother Nature’s plague

Feasts on the wicked

Honeygloom's avatar

Oof what a way to die😬 Love how you have God and Mom Nature teaming up, quite a terrifying duo🖤

Dante’s Inferno, gluttony’s bolus chewed,

Devour cousins unknown metamorphous.

Pharaohs armies, Godzilla, King Kong

Throngs unleashed on endorphins call to die.

Honeygloom's avatar

Epic ride! Well done!

Caro Henry's avatar

Yeah, let’s turn the tables.

Eat or be eaten

Air fryer crackles and crisps

Sweet honey dipping

Honeygloom's avatar

You know, you make them sound pretty appetizing actually…

Matthew Brady's avatar

The bugs are massive

The swarm grows ever larger

I feel so so small

Honeygloom's avatar

Oh nice take! I love the perspective shift🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

They moved like a cloud,

Raining death, gorging themselves,

Till nothing was left... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Greedy beasts! Love the finality of the last line🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

Thanks! There's speculation it may have been an eating contest for insects that got out of hand! Haha... 😎
