Do you like my new neighbor?

Question: Do you like my new neighbor!?

*****
Lines of Demarcation
by TD Euwaite

Black Mud Dauber glides in the breezeless air
In and out through a hole in the screen I never patched
Between the windows, he builds his adobe hacienda
And now there are two, busy do-it-yourselfers

The long brown hollow slowly turns gray
As the mud dries and solidifies their lair
I respect the claim they have made
I regard the stinger they brandish

Next Spring, I will clean away the abandoned nest
For now, live and let live in a peaceful coexistence

Judging from all these barbed comments, you seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest!. [I know this isn't my best effort, but I'm a Jew, not a WASP!.]Www@QuestionHome@Com

You're a kind man TD!. Personally, where I'm at in the world, it's the spiders--I collect them up in a glass and take them outside!. I always feel guilty when I tear down their webs though!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

let's hope they don't have a big litter =)

fix that hole! =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, like, as long as you keep them on your side of the fence!
They are eyeballing the rafters of our deck as I type! Those stingers are not fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

When you are 35 feet in the air and have just opened a sign cabinet to find this nice surprise you appreciate more the can of spray!. To each his place, I like to live longer!. Your words though are well done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good, better, and best!
Give space and get space! You have described the ole 'dauber' in full!.!.!.!.what kind of spiders did he stuff into that nest!?
He's bad to the bone if it's only black widows!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like your new neighbor and I keep many of them near me!.
Absolutely wonderful!.!.!.poetry with a message most gardeners will love you for!. Mud Daubers are one of a gardeners best friends!. Not only are they completely docile, but they are fabulous pollinators and their favorite food is the black widow spider!. Y'all may not know this about me, but I'm somewhat a freak when it comes to gardening and insects so I can say with complete honesty that I love this poem and I hope a lot of people read it!.
Thanks, TD, for your beautiful words in respect for the Docile Dauber!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it, and I am doing the same with a spider, although I fear them greatly !

Talk about Spidie Fear !
Who is this many legged monster
Taking up residence in my Sun Room

From her high corner she watches me
And look now
She is right over my favorite chair

She has spun a web
so intricate
So silent

She has taken her place
She has taken my place
Where is my fly swatter
