Wasp Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

Angry fairy with a toxic tail
Lightning in strike, swifter in flight
A socialist in display...

Unmatched in your motherly wrath
You leave perplexing patterns in space…
Hopping happy from flower to flower
You gleam nourishment for your young…
You sometimes hover for hours
Surveying sights of a potential home
Only to suddenly leave in haste
Carrying feed back to the rest…

Fiery beauty with a lovely hip
You often give me this golden tip…

Together one fights
Together one lives…
