Watch me step on you to munch my plants no more
and I will watch your bloody guts be smashed in a gooey greenish gore.
I’m tired of feeding you and your ferocious appetite
I’m out to get you grass hopper with all my vengeful might.
Watch me step on you to end your hateful ways
of making a meal from my plants which makes you want to stay.
I’ll poison you if I must just to make you to leave
Because on my plants you seem to want to always cleave.
Watch me kill you you monster bug I hate,
You have my blood a boiling you force me to make,
No exceptions! Watch me step on you!

BEAUTIFUL WORDS 
I’m guessing you don’t like bugs. Nice read.
LOL! I hate leaf hoppers/grass hoppers! They eat my plants. Most bugs, I pretty much do not like. I like lady bugs and preying mantises
Great story, Joy. I can definitely sense the heated hatred and frustration. I’d say….grasshoppers be ware!!!
Haha! When I see them in my yard in the summer, I chase them down until I can stomp on them. LOL! (They’re killing my plants if I don’t).
Well written and different too. I can tell from this that you definitely do not like bugs!
I only like beneficial bugs, like lady bugs and preying mantises. Grasshopper/Leaf hoppers destroy my plants and I hate them.
Oh, and thank you!!
Haha! Grasshoppers beware! In the pic the grasshopper is on a watch, and you’re saying “Watch me.” Very clever play on words. Love the rhyming too. Outstanding poem!
Thank you so much! Those are very encouraging words!
I guess if you are a garden bug, even those that are beneficial, might fear the wrath of Joy! 🙂
Oh no, I’m nice to the beneficial bugs. They get to stay.
We have loads of ladybugs and praying mantis!
Yes, I like those bugs! I also like bees and wasps. (I’m not really fond of wasps but they help pollinate).
Not a grasshopper fan, I’m guessing 🙂
No, because they munch on my plants.
Haha nice read but I wish it wasn’t so visual!
Do you like bugs? LOL
I suppose I’m neutral but your description was rather gory for me.
LOL! But they’re bugs!
True true… But just imagine the wet squelch sound that they make when you step on them…. eeerghhh! *shivers*
eeewwwwuuuuu that gives me the shivers.
Have you squashed a bug before?
I squash the grasshoppers/leaf hoppers anytime I see one. They eat my plants and will kill them if I don’t kill the hoppers first.
Those must have gave you some very satisfying squelches!
Honestly, I don’t even think about that I just step on them. In my yard it is war.
If you ever have a garden, vegetable and flower gardens you’ll come to hate the bugs that do damage to the plants.
Poor grasshopper if he could know what awaits him if it comes near your plants!. Well done.
Yes! I wish I could put the word out and that would keep them away. I don’t particularly like smashing them.
Thank you!! 🙂
There was a lot of anger in this one? Grasshopper issues???? Enjoyed!
Yes!! They eat my plants!
