Best Wasps Poems

The wasps are back 
in full force
commandeering my porch
They do this yearly

They buzz my ears
terrorizing me
trying to chase me back into the house
so they can have the porch for themselves

I paid for the porch
not completely, but I am still paying for it.
not the wasps

I look...

jostling in the garden
bees and wasps compete
for the flower's favours

perched on a petal
butterfly uncoils its tube
then injects the flower

a gust of wind
the dried leaf leaps up
and dances in the air...

(Spring) The Benefit Of Wasps

Spring is Fridays
nine O'clock gulump 
of cool beer 

fresh blue jeans 
promises of pleasure, .

buds on a twig 
trembling soft air – 

first touch of loves
fingertip on flesh. 

torture of anticipation 
ecstasy and hum 

diamond green 
and magic moonlight 
painting on...

Serious intent to read
latest issue of TIME magazine
found attention pleasantly distracted,
when I became keenly aware
of flora and fauna bursting,

blooming, buzzing, and twittering
oblivious to yours truly sitting stock still
in folding lawn chair
marveling at each budding
natural born architect and engineer

each respective constituent
living organism engrossed
delicate as deft potters...

Many yellow wasps
Attacked my younger brother
When he was busy
In trimming a branch of tree
Where they built their little hive!...

A gentle droning fills the officers’ club
Here come the wasps, someone says
A silence fills where conversations were
Some of the officers walk to the windows
To gawk at the new WASPS...

On the lush meadow
Serene ostrichs rest
Towering it with vigilance
Rheas they seem from distance
Indulging in sweet silence
Counting evey single chick
Huddled under their wide wings
Abdicating as everyone learns survival
Nurturing them with keenness
Demolishing parental worries
Warning them of stinging wasps
Always looking for new victims
Surrounding them with loud buzzing
Pugnacious and...

Late afternoon October 15th, 2022
a spring like day
witnessed nature in surround sound,
whereby reflection spurred
reminiscence about similar weather
a few years ago when...

Those kittens bounded through the flap and started to play
Raisin said the flowers look so pretty today
She went to sniff a daisy but an insect flew out
And so she hollered, “Watch out, Rum, there’s waspies about!”

The buzzy critter hovered, staring her in the eye
And Raisin...

Skinny miniature dive bombers commandeered my porch today.
Their command center is in the hollows of my porch’s railings.
I watch them wasp-stepping in formation 
around on a tiny wooden table that holds two cans of wasp spray.
Now they are parading around the side of one of...

Ted is a novice when skating on ice
Kept slipping and falling twenty times twice
Body shattered and battered
And his teeth were all scattered	
Prayed the tooth fairy will give a good price

Soups and soft food is all he can now eat
But he fancied something that is more...

on a sunny shiny day sitting outside in the garden
sipping nectar on a chair at a round outdoor table on the lawn
with my mom, someone else becomes interested in me

I'm only 3 and Fuzzy is my best friend
a stuffed platypus her companionship I didn't want...

Aristophanes, my favourite Attic writer, 
When he had pen in hand, was a fighter
Politics and poetics: his precious topics
I know not politics, he loved but poetics

Aristophanes, my favourite Attic writer,
Clung this man to clouds I know tighter
For his Clouds disperse all our doubts 
But his...

Hornets came flying in from all directions
Skidding to a stop, showing no kinds of affections. 

They filled the kitchen, they filled the hall.
The wasps joined them and had a ball.

The mud daubers heard and tried to crash.
Which was truly pushy and rather rash.

A fight ensued,...
