I had bedbugs about a year ago. Like you, the only way I knew to express my frustration was through haiku. Here's what I came up with:

I have bedbugs. So itchy.
Call them marauders.
My arm itches. I hate bugs.

So much to do. Marauders
make life difficult.
Clean out closet, vacuum shoes.

Exterminator in mi
casa manana.
Will marauders die? I hope so.

I have a haiku blog, http://wewritehaikusnotlovesongs.blogspot.com/

Bugs have given me
Obsessive Compulsive Order
Mess harbors vampires

When I find a bug
I tape it to white paper
My only revenge

You’re right… this IS cathartic!

My cat has become
Both best friend and enemy
Potential bug bus

My feet are so cold
But the alternative’s worse
Socks could carry eggs

My clothes are in bags
My dignity is missing
Where did my pants go?

Red welts on my skin
Either stress hives or bed bugs
I think a mixture

bugged out -

"living with bed bugs"

you seem resigned; i feel sad.

this is so unfair.

can you not fight them?

treat the entire apartment;

seal and caulk all cracks.

you are brave to write

generous to offer space

god bless and much peace
