Devourer

By Lynn Weishaar

Eater, devourer, destructor! Why do you plague my garden? You rest upon the mustard And feed upon the lettuce. Even the leaves of a pepper plant do not discourage you! You are preyed upon by bird, reptile, mammals and even other insects. Despite this your numbers never seem to diminish. Eater, devourer, destructor! Please, go away!
