Aiona,
This is a well written metaphoric tanka. It seems to be about trying to break through a bad case of writer's blocks. You have a lot of ideas buzzing around in your head but can't find coherent words to create a poem.
Keep wring and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

Bless you, you are brave. Wasps nests are such dreadful and scary things to deal with. Your poem is succinct but to the point. Take care that you
don't get stung.

LOL! I'm trying. Half the boat is clear now. The front v-berth still has a TON of nests inside the headliner (the plastic that covers the roof). I'm going to stick a wire camera back there to see how much is back there tomorrow. :(

Hmm.... yeah, I guess "sprinkled" would be a better word. :) It was spattering rain. Thanks! I will re-word it.

The wasps never know the purpose of paper projects, they play making their bests; some are still buzzing; what the hell! Well said, thank you for sharing this; good luck in the contest. ALCREATOR
