Beaten! : for Miz Q

http://imprompt.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/another-sinner-or-two/

Your challenge is to write a poem with a strong beat.  Or to revise a previously written piece, giving it an almost percussive quality.

A cinquain forward and backwards:

Beaten!

Wack! Attack!
Slap! Swat! Slam! Bam!...
The seasons best are besting me!
Following their own beat and rhythm; Munch, crunch!
Blood suckers!

Blood suckers!
Mostly mosquitoes thinking I’m a really sweet treat
Going for my smoothie banana breath
I’m going hide inside -
Attack! Wack!

So maybe this isn’t what Miz Q had in mind. Though I really enjoyed listening to The Seekers.
