Hunger Games -Tracker Jackers

fire rages through woods
katniss injured, climbs tree top…
a plan to survive  

mutant killer wasp
tracker jackers’ nest above…
entertaining games

poisonous stings ooze
with green puss and intense pain…
triumph applauded

Hunger Games is not a movie yet but an extraordinary series of books.
I can’t wait to see the movie!

You nailed it well Caryl. In Scotland they're just called 'Midges'.

I remember this from when it must have been in my contest, Caryl. I do remember really pondering how many wins to give and this was on the cusp for me! Gosh, so Hunger Games the movie had not even come out when you wrote it. I bet you went to it right away!!! Didn't you? I saw it. It was awesome.
