Paul Callus Poet Tautogram

Notes About The Poem

© businesstraveller.com

Bothersome Bedbugs

Basically,
     bashful
     brownish
     brazen
     bugs
     besotted
     by
     bubbling
     blood
     browse
     between 
     bedsheets…
     best
     brief:
     better
     banish
     before
     bedtime;
     beware
     body
     bites!

Jennifer Proxenos November 4, 2019 at 11:43 AM Hi Paul, congratulations on your win - I really enjoyed this poem and it is so true, bed bugs are blood sucking terrorists! We have eventually moved and are in our new house which still needs some TLC until it becomes home. However, I am back on track after a two week absence from soup and have a lot of catching up to do. Hugs and warm regards, Jenny. Paul Callus November 6, 2019 at 9:56 AM So pleased to have you back, Jenny! Moving house can be both stressful and rewarding, depending on how one looks at it. I've been away from 1st Nov; now back again, and playing catching up! Warm regards & Hugs // paul
