Mystic Rose Rose Poet Tanka

Summer Bugs

ten o'clock coffee 
its a sweet and sour day  
inside my back porch  

along comes Jacko 
the stink wasp from Kingdom Hell  
caught inside my shawl 

hubby tries to help 
but the wasp gets stuck and bites
thank God, no stinger.. .

David Smith September 14, 2021 at 9:17 PM wasps can be persistent. I am not allergic to much if anything but have been stung a few times. Ants are are starting to be an issue in NZ. If they get into electrics in numbers can cause fires. Well penned flows nicely. Regards David in NZ

Delice Arleen Skelly August 29, 2021 at 3:10 AM Got stung on the hand a few times when I disturbed a wasp nest, made me jump for Ireland…Delice

Eve Roper August 28, 2021 at 5:57 PM Great tanka, Mystic Rose, good luck in the contest. I thought that a tanka was 5-7-5-7-7 verse. I hope I got it right. If it not it's ok. I did see where the person did make the comment of original 5-7-5.. So, I am totally lost.

Sotto Poet August 28, 2021 at 5:48 PM Lovely poem, Rose, nice take for the contest, with my very best wishes.
