I’ve known wasps
Since childhood,
Hymenopterans
Held be human,
Sting they would,
If one did cross
Upon their stood,
Or in school’s hood,
One did presume
To set the pace,
Thus take the lead
And so displace
In their prized race,
These hymenoptera
Said bête noire wasp,
Thought per se human!
Very good poetry subjects. Lucky me I discovered your web site by chance. I’ve saved it for later!
I cannot agree with you more! Good post, have a very nice day.

Did the wasp sting so as to impose silence, and the inability to voice your opinion in writing ? Hard for me to imagine this short poem had so much power. JJF
