A hummingbird swoops,

Deftly catching its small prey,

The wasp stood no chance.

I currently work as a thatcher, but love the art of writing a narrative, currently I am working on putting my ideas onto paper and creating a book. In the meantime I create short stories to keep myself, fiancée and two dogs entertained.

    Wasps vs hummingbirds? Who knew? Loved this for its content but also for what I've learned!
