    Your imagery made me itchy (the thought of insects always does that)! I put cockroaches and centipedes in the same category (the quicker I do away with them, the better!). They should have a universe of their own, far removed from mine!

    Your haiku, although it brings back unpleasant memories, is very effective in producing a knee-jerk reaction, so, for that alone, I give you a 'thumbs up' on this one!

    Best of Luck in this contest!

    Hi Peteskid!

    Mariza warned me this was coming so I composed a special uniku (a one-syllable haiku expressing feelings, sentiments, deep emotion or reaction to natural disaster)
