Buzzzz.. I love your line, " A sweet and sour day" I've had a few of those. Such a neat metaphor

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

Thank God I have never been stung by a wasp. I have enough of mosquitoes. Hugs.

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.
