There is a hole
in my house where
the wasp crawls in
again and again
I spend
countless hours
catching it up
in an empty glass
to let it fly free
in the garden
but it never
fails to
return
even so
I cannot bring
myself to crush
its
glossy
delicate
menace

smiles. i like...there is beauty in all things..and in life as well...so you leave me happy...nice write...
Jonnia, I agree. This makes me happy. I have a hard time killing creepy crawlies. Lovely, simple poem.
I like the quaint simplicity of your poem as well. Unlike brian and victoria, however, I would spray the pest with wasp killer (or at least plug up the entrance hole) - just sayin' ;)
I feel the same way. There's a beautiful insect-like shape to your poem.
..ah, your words are very simple but digs deep through my heart.. there’s so much to learn in your poetry.. and i just like your reference to the wasp in here… this so reminds me of my visit to our home in the province where i would stare a wasp roaming again and again and again – endlessly and i would simply smile as how their lives are going on.. thank you for the poem!
Strange there is just one. Don't they usually swarm?
Glossy delicate menace is a great description!
beautiful.
