 there is a spider web clinging to the corner of The Hovel I stare at it taking in its beauty before I take a broom and remove it it never ceases to amaze me of the intricate beauty of a spider’s web I give it the quintessence of thought a complicated world woven for something so simple as a killing mechanism for survival it is spun so very ingeniously a cunning and clever trap for its next victim on second thought I think I shall leave it there ©January 11, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I agree, Jerry. Spider webs do have a certain appeal. You described it very well. Ida |

Thanks Ida. Spiders and their webs have intrigued me since I was a small child. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

We let spiders live with us in the flat ) They protect our dwelling from insects so well! Nice poem, Jerry! |

Absolutely Gale, they do keep the insects away. Besides that I just like to watch them and marvel at their webs. Thank you for dropping by. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I'm not much on spiders either, Kat, but the webs fascinate me. |

My daughter on the contrary was never scared of spiders, but any spider thread makes her panic. But their web is so beautiful, especially in the morning with drops of dew. |

Yeah, it sure is, Gale. Not afraid of spiders but afraid of the web. Strange. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I love this very much, dear Jerry, and also your second thought! As long as it isn't a black widow! I remember not liking to pluck berries in the garden because of the many spiderwebs! But I am fascinated too by their fantastic work of art! Margherita |

It seems it is a love/hate relation concerning spiders, Margherita. Most people abhor the actual spider, but are lovingly amazed at what it can weave. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
