A wasp drinking water. <br />I could not believe, <br />That something so ugly <br />Could have such a need. <br /> <br />He parked on the rim <br />Of the birdbath that day, <br />And started to drink <br />Without looking my way. <br /> <br />I stopped in my motion, <br />And standing stock-still, <br />I looked at him drinking <br />And drinking his fill. <br /> <br />He finished his feeding <br />And flew fast away, <br />And never acknowledged <br />My presence that day. <br /> <br />The wasp showed me something <br />To ponder, I think. <br />That it has a beauty <br />In needing to drink.<br /><br />Sandi J Holland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wasp-drinking-water/
