Today is the Seventh Anniversary of dVerse Poets Pub. It is Quadrille Monday and a poem of exactly 44 words is required using the prompted word “itch”. Perfect for summer. My apologies to Issa. I do not usually write humorous poems but last night, I had a run-in with a mosquito.
The Skeeter
You’re the itch I cannot scratch.
You’re the whine that keeps me awake.
Bitey bitch mosquito
I will hunt you down
And smash you flat.
I am not deaf.
I am not numb.
There you are at the ceiling!
Swat!
Now you are dead.
