Petty Powwow

How dare you bite me?
   Little mosquito
Go, find someone else
   To dig in your toe

   You bother me much
So I will just splat
   Now you're there, now not
You blood-sucking brat

I thought it's over
   Our unspoken grudge
But you haunt me 'gain
   With your tiny smudge

   Your sibling or friend
Comes seeking revenge
   I don't like him too
He should not infringe

   So there goes my hand
You can't stop me now
   He joins you too soon
Ending our powwow

Demetrios Trifiatis June 24, 2021 at 12:23 PM Annoying when it happens, especially during sleeping hours. This is a charming poem that made me smile, It made me forget what pests they are. Hugs, my little sister. xxx

Victor Buhagiar June 24, 2021 at 8:57 AM Mosquitoes are big pests. I use a slice of lemon and rub it on the bite, It goes away quickly. Loved your poem. Hugs.

Tom Cunningham June 24, 2021 at 8:03 AM Thank God for citronella oil, lol. Always get bitten when I go to Turkey, our neighbours daughter went abroad with friends, she was covered in bites, I told she shouldn't have put so much performe on because it atrracts them lol. Enjoyed your verse Jo. Tom
