Nest Testament To Wasp Creativity Poem by Terence George Craddock

attendance at an insect art class
not need wasps long ago mastered
construction select site techniques

wasps express themselves
through home constructed
architecture with creative

defensive purpose
survival mentalities
building materials

wood fiber sourced
mixed with saliva water
creating paper pulp

wet cellulose fibers
dry forms a strong paper
buttress to suspend

a wasp nest
which consists
of hexagonal

cells where young wasps
will develop nest grows as
expansion cells are added
