little chiggers

Roaming in the woods, 
merrily and in the bliss. 
skipping along as I should, 
and guess what I missed?
Little chiggers waiting in the grove,
through my feet above they drove. 
I should have followed the trail, 
now I need time to scratch with a nail. 
Many little red bites feel like braille,
itching badly makes me want to wail.
Little invincible invertebrate has all the advantage, 
leaves me with nothing less than putting a bandage.
