Best Scratching Poems


Premium Member Police Scratching Head

Through the glass I spied an old man
     And he’s reading his text
  With no care and I’m vexed
       A long letter...what’s next?
Origami folds into fan…

Premium Member Scratching At My Soul

It had to be a dream
But so, so real
It did seem

And it did feel
Like everything in sight
Had it's own appeal

Oh how bright
Was the black
Of the night

Then the attack
From all around
Front and back

Unbelievable was the sound
Of pain's own cry
Even through the ground

Fight or fly
No! run and hide
Stay and die

Not hard to decide
It seems to be everywhere
Escape...

Scratching Fanny in Cock Lane, a true tale

The year1762 a tale of murder or mystery they boast
 A teenage girl, drunken parish clerk, and maybe even a ghost
About hordes of aristocrats and wealthy men assembling
 Crowds rivalling Covent Garden, Theatres were now descending

To a house near St Paul’s on a road named Cock Lane
Although three stories high only one room on each...

Premium Member You'Ll Be Scratching Your Head When You Read This

All the students were very aware
There were nits crawling in her long hair
Perching on the next seat
Trying to be discrete
I got itchy and had to move chair 

based on a real event

Brain Scratching 101

Have you ever had a major itch
Deep inside your brain
Where your whole face does a Chubby Checkers twist
Driving you erratically down crazy lane

You need to find that special something 
To cram far enough up your nose
And if you can't get to it that way
There's that hole just above the earlobe

I search around my place frantically...

Premium Member Upside Down Scratching My Head

Fact of every day life, is in all one thought process
everything you hear, is about wars killing 
spending multi-millions on weaponary 
to then create suffering little children 
Crying poor, in their mothers and fathers arms
thrown to the wolves,they who are defenceless 
meek and humble innocent people cry in our shame

Rather than spend a lot less...

If It Bleeds After Scratching It

If it bleeds after scratching it, then you went too far.
I see a parade of dead people walking by me in this old dream.
They are eating bananas and I recognize their faces as friends,
I hear their familiar voices, and I wish I can talk to them again.
Then, as if a...

Clawing, Scratching, Screaming

Clawing, scratching, screaming
A heart's endless scheming
Can you hear me? No!
Can you feel me? No more!
Do you see the pain drip from my eyes to the floor?
Remember my taste?
Oh what a waste.
I can't un-remember anymore.
Look to my hands, see their desire;
Choking out words to quell their fire.
Nails dig in and drag
Breaking a cracker's crack!
You never looked...

Catfucious 6

I skiddle down the hardwood hall;

Scratching, sliding, bump and fall.

Scratching Baxter

When I left he was in his lounging chair

TV way too loud

The glow of discontent on his face

Made me want to cry

 

The only peace now in his life

Never left his side

He sat there scratching Baxter

Life just passed him by

 

In his day he was the man every man wanted to be

He had the looks,...

The Cat

The Cat

??Licking, Licking?
Grooming himself
?Licking licking
?Scratching himself
?Licking licking?
Pampering himself
?Licking, Licking
?Biting Himself?
Yeah, How Gorgeous!?
All curled Up?
On the purple velvety mink blanket...

German Shepherds Curse

The battle starts everyday
His itch will not go away
Scratch and scratch is all he does
I yell to stop from above

Itching and biting evermore
Skin covered in sores
Itching continuously grows
When it stops nobody knows

As I wish it to stop
Redness, allergies, and hot spots
Going, going, non-stop
Trying to reach the itch up top

Off to the vet we go
Hoping to...
