Emile Pinet Poet Tanka

Incredibly Itchy

a wasp jabs its sting
deep into my derriere
a butt load of itch...
too embarrassing to scratch
yet too itchy to ignore

buzzing mosquitos
partial to my fast-food face
fly in for a bite...
landing ever so lightly
risking the chance of a slap

blackfly bites can get
so incredibly itchy,
my nails get worn down...
scratching bumps until they bleed:
these itches drive me crazy
