I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

Sorry, Scooj — I happen to love that flies do well in eating garbage and decay (nature’s own garbage collectors). Maggots do their fine job, too. Now, if you’d written about mosquitoes, well, that would be a different story. ❤
Actually the haiku is somewhat sympathetic to the fly, kind of recognising its undeserved bad reputation. It was inspired by the picture of an unusual print, in a shop I walk past often, that displayed flies. A curiosity.
And let’s not forget maggots! Yuck!

I’ll put mosquitoes on the ‘inspiration’ list.

I noticed that print…it does look cool, and I love how they framed it so handsomely.
